3D Printing: From Prototype to Production
3D printing technologies are not new, but thanks to a recent convergence of simple-to-use design software, improving materials, and shrinking hardware costs, 3D printing is becoming mainstream. Creative individuals, entrepreneurs, teachers, surgeons and established businesses use 3D printing technologies to re-define art, medicine, product design and education. In the future, we will see the emergence of new business models and a new aesthetic as 3D printing technologies remove traditional manufacturing barriers of cost, time and skill. The electronics industry is adopting 3D printing to extend production capabilities that are scalable and complimentary with current manufacturing solutions. 3D printing technologies also open up new avenues for directly functionalizing component parts.
