The first printer was invented by Charles Hull and his company, 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD), in 1986. For the next decade, engineers used the machine mainly for models and prototypes. It wasn’t until the early 1990s when Hull started selling his printers to US companies such as GM and Ford, that its potential in other markets became clear. By 2009, 86% of commercial buyers were using a wide range of applications for 3D printing for rapid prototyping, tooling, manufacturing tools, dental implants, and much more.
