3D printing has made a splash across multiple industries, but it’s still in its formative years. As advancements continue to develop, it will impact the future of consumerism and the world as we know it. While it is often associated to prosthetics or creating models, 3D printing has other uses that can contribute to the future.

 .

Here are some predictions on how 3D printing will advance.

 .

1. Printing to get faster 3D printing, invented at MIT, has been around since the 1980s , but the printing process is relatively slow. Advancements in capabilities allow the continuous printing of polymers at rapid speeds — 40 to 50 times faster than conventional stereolithography 3D printing. Previously, the time to build a project might have taken a few days. With new technology , you can have a finished part within 5-10 minutes. Modern 3D printers can now print a […]
