"Wealth Without Money…"
What is RepRap? RepRap stands for "Replicating Rapid-Prototyper". The goal of RepRap is to create a universal constructor for a cost under 500 USD. Their current machine is the RepRap 1.0 Darwin. The RepRap uses Thermoplastic; plastic that melts at a low temperature and cools to a brittle type of a material. Soon, it will use pastes too. Sound farmiliar? They decided to name their models after famous biologists, like charles darwin. Oh, and if you are wondering, a universal constructor is a machine that constructs not only other objects, but itself as well. Universal constructors will also assemble themselves. So far, the Darwin makes 60% of its self. If you would like more information on the RepRap, or to find out how to build one, visit the offical site of the RepRap Project at http://reprap.org.
