<strong>”RepRap (<a href=”http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page”>http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page</a>) is an open-source 3D printer that prints plastic objects—it even has the ability to replicate itself by printing most of the parts (under the instructions of its owner, we trust). Companies like Buildatron (<a href=”http://buildatron.com”>http://buildatron.com</a>) offer their own RepRap variants in kit form or fully assembled.”</strong>
