Welcome to RepRap.org
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 (http://reprap.org
/wiki/Printable_part_sources) , 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.
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.

A family using one RepRap to print only 20 domestic products per year (about 0.02% of the
products available) can expect to save between $300 and $2000:
"...the unavoidable conclusion from this study is that the RepRap is an economically
attractive investment for the average US household already."
