  What is a 3D printer? 3D printer is a new technology t he birth of 3D printing was in 1984 in the hands of Chuck Hull who invented a process known as stereolithography in which layers are added by curing photopolymers with UV lasers, after that layer by layer technology used in each layer has 0.1mm depth, in 1999 it was first used in medicine then parts of human such as ears, fingers  was done,  in 2005 3D  printing technology  became open  source, in  2006 the  first SLS (selective laser sintering) machine became variable, in 2008 the first self-replication printer which made the printer able to print the majority of its own components. Main Components Of 3D Printer Print Bed: The print bed is a flat surface where the extruder deposits the filament from solid objects. This bed is heated while printing but it depends upon which filament or material we are going to use. Most of the beds are made of aluminum but now a days there is also gla...
