ヘガネスジャパン
The term "3D printing" is said to have been first used by Professor Emanuel M. Sachs of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Professor Sachs's father worked for a publishing company, and it is said that as a child, Professor Sachs was shown a printing press by his father. This is said to be the inspiration for the term "3D printing." In 1993, Professor Sachs developed and patented an inkjet-based process for creating three-dimensional objects using powders (ceramic, metal, or resin), which is considered the origin of the binder jetting method.
