Chances are you’ve heard of 3D printing - the modern fabrication process being used today to make everything from football cleats to dental implants.

In this episode of Here's an Idea™ we look at how 3D printing began. We speak with the creator of the 3D printer himself, Chuck Hull, who admits he could never have guessed that his "stereolithography apparatus" would be capable of so much more than prototyping plastic parts.

In the making of this episode, we also spoke to industry insider Terry Wohlers and engineer Ramille Shah. Access the full-length interviews below.
