Charles Hull developed the first 3D printing technology, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/stereolithography-explained100420174\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stereolithography<\/a>, only compatible with photosensitive thermoset polymers, in order to facilitate the production of prototypes. Not long after, Hull printed the first ever 3D printed object, an eye wash cup. Today, after over three decades of rapid growth, development and innovation, 3D printers are capable of far more, from printing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/mighty-buildings-interview-051020205\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">houses<\/a>, parts for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/chevrolet-race-cars-with-3d-printed-parts-131020206\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cars<\/a> and rockets, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/redefine-meat-alternative-meat-3d-printer-120920195\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">meat alternatives<\/a>, to a miniature functioning human heart. 3D printing is changing the way products are manufactured worldwide: minimising waste; maximising sustainability; and permitting mass customisation to cater to specific consumer needs. Additive manufacturing has had, and will continue to have, an unprecedented impact on medicine, transport, commerce, and society as a whole. Watch our compilation of 10 of the most important moments that changed 3D printing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HIztrNM_ejc\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Top 2: AM Micro-robots: the 3D Lithography Research Revolutionising Medicine\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">These 3D printed micro-robots are so small that they can manoeuvre through our blood vessels and deliver medications to certain points in the body. Researchers have been pursuing this goal for years. Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich finally succeeded using a new manufacturing technique, underpinned by the expertise of ETH Professor Salvador Pan\u00e9\u2019s work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/eth-zurich-develops-3d-printed-microrobots-031220205\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Using 3D lithography<\/a>, a high-precision 3D printing technique that produces complex objects on the micrometre level, the scientists are able to print metal and plastic with such precision that the two materials are interlocked as closely as links in a chain. These micro-robots will one day revolutionise the field of medicine.<\/p><div class=\"dnati-inside-article-leaderboard\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"dnati-2844694416\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/3717757396787\/WN_sBfwcCHoQSq1mEANYpWa6Q\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LB (3)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/LB-3.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"850\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p0652VbEwhk\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Top 3: Green Campus&#8217; 3D-Printed Eco-villages<\/b><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Green Campus, a crowd funded start-up, is developing large format 3D printers and revolutionary bio-materials to build ethical and sustainable eco-villages. For the last four years, they have been working with the world\u2019s leading large format 3D printing and bio-composites chemical engineers to create the largest, most flexible, greenest, most economical and most accessible 3D printing platform. Green Camps will be printed with 100% non-toxic, 100% plant based bio-materials made from food and organic fibre waste.
