6. What is RepRap? RepRap is a replicating 3D printer

7. RepRap Facts ● RepRap can copy about half its own parts. ● The other half: hardware shops and on-line. ● Cost of all the materials £300. ● Working volume: 200 x 200 x 140 mm 3. ● Material: most plastics. ● Print rate: 19 ml/hour (2 days to replicate). ● Licence: GPL.
