Rep Rap RepRap takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap selfreplicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. RepRap is a community based on making selfreplicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. RepRap was the first of the low-cost 3D printers, and the RepRap Project started the open-source 3D printer revolution. It has become the most widely-used 3D printer among the global members of the Maker Community. http://reprap.org/ @reprap
