At first glimpse, the world of 3D printing does seem magical, as do the projections for the future. This includes every level, from manufacturing to the desktop. It would seem that one day, thanks to many thousands of innovators creating and competing around the world, there will be a 3D printer and a material for meeting our every personal and very customized need. With new processes in manufacturing and production that offer greater quality, speed, and affordability, our lives will become different–and better–due to greater efficiency and the ability to be more independent and self-sustainable. And the bottom line is, we will do a lot less waiting.
In terms of the revolution that is and will be further occurring due to 3D printing, construction is almost always included. Components can be made with greater complexity, less waste, and are more environmentally friendly all around. Parts cost less and less human labor is required.
