1.1 Background of 3D PrinterItalic text

Early examples of 3D printing occurred in the 1980s, though the printers then were large, expensive and highly limited in what they could produce. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) was developed and patented by Dr. Carl Deckard at the University Of Texas At Austin in the mid-1980s, under sponsorship of DARPA. A similar process was patented without being commercialized by R. F. Householders in 1979.

Confirmation as to how seriously some companies are taking additive manufacturing, popularly known as 3D printing, came on November 20th when GE Aviation, part of the world’s biggest manufacturing group for which the headquarter is located in in Evendale, Ohio, bought a privately owned company called Morris Technologies.

Morris Technologies has invested heavily in 3D printing equipment and will be printing bits for a new range of jet engines.
