What is the future of 3D priting? - 3dtech - 06-22-2016

3d printing is a fantastic tool- not really a new industry. It has been around for a while but it is making the news now because it has become cheap and easy enough for people to make or buy and operate their own 3d printers (entered the consumer space).

I say its a fantastic tool because it is. Its future is in enabling people to prototype and experiment more with physical objects. Before it was so cheap, it was difficult for the average person to engineer new inventions/prototypes or everyday items. People were pretty much limited to creating software products. Now, all of the advantages of software development (cheap, easy, ect.) are coming to the physical world.

So, like the explosion of software creation we saw recently enabled by cheap computers, cheap manufacturing (3d printers) will enable an explosion of engineered physical products (including hardware/software integration, network connectivity, ect.)

Thats the future.

Hi, 3D printing technology is growing day by day. In almost every manufacturing field this technology is being used in one or the other way. I think one day will come where we come across 3d printed phones. There are various techniques of 3d metal printing such as slm, dlm, stereo lithography etc.The 3d printing technology is helping the engineers tremendously in building the house. Although it is true that nothing can replace the traditional methods of building, but will surely develop new and interesting solutions. The Atlantic precision one of the known websites for  printing, the 3d metal printing techniques are also used in the aerospace industry. This technique helps scientist and engineers in launching rockets.

Yep Engeneers will create stuff in CAD soft and then just print it.
So it will be much easier manufactoring, or companies can just sell 3d models, so that customers will print them on they own printers.

3-D printing is a technology which was first invented in the 1980s, and since that time has been used for rapid prototyping. Moving in several directions at this time and all indications are that it will continue to expand in many areas in the future. Some of the most promising areas include medical applications, custom parts replacement, and customized consumer products. As materials improve and costs go down, other applications we can barely imagine today will become possible.Iannone 3D is a New Jersey based Rapid Prototyping and 3D Printing Service Bureau.
