30 Coolest Things People 3D Printed

Here’s an interesting fact you probably did not know – 3D printing is actually almost 40 years old! The first prototype 3D printer was invented all the way back in the 80s and as technology advanced and the prices of printers dropped, they started becoming available to more and more people. That led to users getting creative with this new technology, coming up with unique and ingenious creations that wouldn’t be possible to create using conventional methods.
