摘要
This 38-page document is a part of Wohlers Report 2016-2022 and was created for its readers. The document chronicles the history of additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing, beginning with the initial commercialization of stereolithography in 1987 to April 2015. Developments from April 2015 through March 2016 are available in the complete version of the report. An analysis of AM, from the earliest inventions in the 1960s to the 1990s, is included in the final several pages of this document.
