开源自复制快速原型（RepRap）社区的技术进步使分布式增材制造能够使用聚合物基材料快速扩展。然而，缺乏开源金属替代品，以及专有商业化金属3D打印机的高资本成本和缓慢的吞吐量严重限制了它们的部署。商业化的金属3D打印机的应用仅限于快速成型和昂贵的成品。这严重限制了中小企业、发展中国家和实验室获得技术。本文报道了一种
Technical progress in the open-source self replicating rapid prototyper (RepRap) community has enabled a distributed form of additive manufacturing to expand rapidly using polymer-based materials. However, the lack of an open-source metal alternative and the high capital costs and slow throughput of proprietary commercialized metal 3-D printers has severely restricted their deployment. The applications of commercialized metal 3-D printers are limited to only rapid prototyping and expensive finished products. This severely restricts the access of the technology for small and medium enterprises, the developing world and for use in laboratories. This paper reports on the development of a
