Documentation for the RepRap project is currently hosted at http://reprap.org, and not on this MediaWiki. While we may be mirroring documentation onto this site, this is not the official documentation website. (Yet.)

The RepRap Project

Look at your computer setup and imagine that you hooked up a 3D printer. Instead of printing on bits of paper this 3D printer makes real, robust, mechanical parts. To give you an idea of how robust, think Lego bricks and you're in the right area. You could make lots of useful stuff, but interestingly you could also make most of the parts to make another 3D printer. That would be a machine that could copy itself.

RepRap is short for Replicating Rapid-prototyper. It is the practical self-copying 3D printer introduced in the video on the right - a self-replicating machine.
