RepRap: Difference between revisions

Introduction

Reprap is an open-source 3-D printer, under development with the goal of being able to print all the components which are used to build it.

• useful for enabling local technological development
• self-replicating
• open-source, community project
• developed on its wiki and through its mailing list
• Mendel is RepRap v.2; Darwin was v.1
• In most cases it is environmentally beneficial to locally manufacture plastic products with a RepRap than to manufacture and ship them conventionally. See : Environmental impacts of distributed manufacturing from 3-D printing of polymer components and products

Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on their site community portal and New Development pages have more information on how to get involved.
