Patent was 1993. IIRC.
Edit: nope "Stereolithography (SLA), the first Rapid Prototyping process, was developed by 3D Systems of Valencia, California, USA, founded in 1986."
Maybe another process?
"Selective Laser Sintering (SLS®, registered trademark by DTM™ of Austin, Texas, USA) is a process that was patented in 1989 by Carl Deckard, a University of Texas graduate student."
"Stratasys of Eden Prairie, MN makes Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) machines. The FDM process was developed by Scott Crump in 1988."
hmmm. What process were you doing, Wayne?
