3D Printing's disruption of the $10T global manufacturing market has begun.
With its ability to process computer aided design (CAD) data and build an object from the ground up, 3D Printing previously offered an innovative way to design prototypes and models, largely for artistic purposes. Now that production grade metals and plastics have arrived, design constraints have...
With its ability to process computer aided design (CAD) data and build an object from the ground up, 3D Printing previously offered an innovative way to design prototypes and models, largely for artistic purposes. Now that production grade metals and plastics have arrived, design constraints have been lifted on end-use products, allowing for incredible innovation. Whether NASA reducing the sub-assemblies in its rocket fuel injector from 163 to 2, or doctors printing patient-specific titanium prosthetics from MRI data, the developments have already been astounding.
The main issue holding back 3D Printing adoption is cost. Production grade 3D printing is ...
