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:

FRP first started business late 2000 and became a Limited Company early 2001. Originally registered as Fenland RP Ltd and trading under the name of FRP. Their sole aim in business is to offer its customers the best solutions, in terms of Fast Real Parts.

FRP was founded by the late Colin Clark on his twenty years experience of delivering success by focusing on the customer, rather than the technology. Colin was joined in 2003 by current MD Nick Osborn, who has been in the Rapid Manufacturing industry since 1992.
