Review and analysis of RP, RM and RT technologies Comprehensive review of RPMT technologies from their origins about 30 years ago. Systems commercially available, obsolete, and at the development stage CAD systems development Mid 80s Stereolithography (STL), the first RP system was development 90s The fused deposition modelling (FDM) was born 3D printing Laminated object manufacturing, LOM 2000 Biomaterials and cells are employed in RP technologies Currently more of 100 RPM&T have been proposed 30% of these are commercially available
