RepRap is humanity's first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine. 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 self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend… RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. We are using 3D printing to do this, but if you have other technologies that can copy themselves and that can be made freely available to all, then this is the place for you too. Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of your own. Our community portal and New Development pages have more information on how to get involved. Use the links below and on the left to explore the site contents. You'll find some content translated into other languages.

This group is a platform for 3D Modelers, 3D artists, designers, and sculptors to share their 3D Printed works. We encourage sharing of your finished 3D printed pieces, works in progress, your workspace, tools and general tips and tricks that relate to 3D printing for artists. Our only rules are no advertising, no spam and no links to random 3D Printing articles not related to art or design. We will delete any posts that are not relevant to the site, if you have any questions please send us a private msg. Thank You and welcome!
