Inkjet PrintersInkjet printing is a type of computer printing that recreates a digital

image by propelling droplets of ink onto paper, plastic, or other substrates. Inkjet printers are the most commonly used type of

printer,and range from small inexpensive consumer models to very large professional machines that can cost tens of thousands of dollars,

or more. Best for photos and pictures.

Laser PrintersA laser printer is a device that uses LED technology (light emitting diodes) to transfer small particles of powdered ink (called toner) from an ink cartridge

onto paper. Laser printers are considered more economical than inkjet printers because they use less

ink. Best for text.

The First 3D Printer

The first form of 3D printing was developed in the mid-1980s by computer scientist Charles "Chuck" Hull. It is known as stereolithography. It uses a

tank filled with gallons of liquid plastic called photopolymer, which hardens into a solid when exposed to ultraviolet light.

Chuck Hull (Charles W. Hull; born May 12, 1939) is the co-founder, executive vice president and chief technology officer of 3D Systems.

He is the inventor of the solid imaging process known as stereolithography (3D Printing), the first commercial rapid

prototyping technology, and the STL file format. He is named on more than 60 U.S. patents as well as other patents around the world

in the fields of ion optics and rapid prototyping. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014

Open Source Technology

Open source technology is any type of computer program or software that has not been copyrighted by its creators.

Code is another word for the programming that makes software run. Most software is called "closed source." That means that the code is owned by a company and nobody outside of the company can see or change the code.

Open source technology is the opposite: anyone can see the code and they can even change it on their own computers. Open source code makes it possible for regular people to copy a program's code and make changes to it, or suggest improvements to developers.

3D Printed FabricsDesigner Jiri Evenhuise worked together with Janne Kyttanen to make the needle and thread obsolete by using a software that collects a person’s body data to instantly create perfect fitting clothing.This type of technology is recyclable, requires less labor, shortens production time and ultimately lowers the carbon footprint for a greener way to create clothing. Plus, you can be sure that clothing you buy online can fit you like a glove.
