In the last decade, additive manufacturing has greatly developed and the manufacture of cheaper 3D hybrid (multitool) printers has increased. Hybrid 3D printers are equipped with interchangeable heads for manufacture and permit multiple types of processing such as 3D printing, CNC cutting, laser engraving or deposition of pasty materials. The objective of this paper was to manufacture a hybrid 3D printer prototype, type DIY (do it yourself) and was equipped with g-code software necessary for 3D printing process and for CNC cutting. The materials used for construction for this hybrid 3D printer are cheap and accessible and some of electronic components are reused and recovered from old equipment and the functional 3D hybrid printer obtained can be a model for sustainability of products.
