3D Printing Museum

Many items to do with 3D Printing, in the news today, are about processes, materials and applications that are produced on new machines now, yet 3 decades ago some of the lucky few were quietly making history in many and varied application areas that some companies kept quiet to gain competitive advantage. We wish to pay tribute to those pioneers in the 3D Printing museum. Several corporations are helping to display their applications that were ground breaking at that time and even now all those years later can teach others what is possible.
Other applications that show recent developments of materials and machines are also included as well as developments in 3D CAD and Digital Manufacturing that includes Formative, Additive and Subtractive Technologies (FAST) these are all part of the global Time Compression Technology movement.

By 1999 other companies than those mentioned in above menu selection were known to own an SLA but did not publicly offer bureau services. They were:
BAe (Lostock & Warton) DRA Malvern, Ford Brentwood, Lever, Rolls Royce, Williams, Jordan, Kinnear Duffort, MCP, Cardiff Uni, Roush, Ogle, Portsmouth Uni.

3D Printing Museum Project!

Over the years many samples have been built and many projects undertaken. All are interesting and many are world class innovations, only a few are on show on this website.

It would be excellent to be able to share those moments in history to a growing public that is just starting on there own 3D Printing journey.
If you care to include your own moments of history please use the contact form below and join in with me.
We have portable display units, and a dedicated home for this unique museum is underway.
