Imagine a world where you broke a leg off your chair, no problem 3D print it. They forgot you give you an integral piece in your new desk setup, no problem 3D print it. You need a part for your car that broke, no problem 3D print it. I am imagining a world where it is just as easy to 3D print anything as it is to 2D print anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am imagining a world where you can recycle and grind down your old 3D printed products to make new ones. A closed-loop system that never has to dispose of materials. There will be a 3D printer in every home in America and it will be utilized all the time. You need a case for your phone? 3D print it. You need a new salad bowl? 3D print it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The obstacle here is price<\/strong>, versatility<\/strong>, and ease of use<\/strong>. This printer has to be affordable, able to print a magnitude of different things and print them fast, and it has to be extremely easy to use. These three terms will get a 3D printer in every home in America. It will revolutionize how commerce takes place. Instead of buying products online or in a store you will simply buy the print file and print it yourself. You will never have to leave your house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, this might be far into the future but constant innovation and early adoption will allow this idea to become a reality in the coming decades. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Imagine a world where you broke a leg off your chair, no problem 3D print it.
