Abstract
For years, we have seen the impact of the digitization of our world, the ability to take the information of a thing and manipulate it as fluidly as a sequence of numbers on a computer. Only now are we beginning to see the impact of this digitization come back full circle and begin to remake our physical world in the same way as it manipulates bytes in the computer. The dream of the Star Trek replicator is fast becoming a reality of our modern day world as the barriers of speed, cost, and material types are quickly being thrown aside to create a new era of 3D Printed goods that could upend our entire economic infrastructure for manufacturing and consuming goods. Imagine a world absent of retail stores, shipping services, and centralized manufacturing and you get a glimpse of the changes in-home 3D printing have the potential to bring to a future economy. From 3D printed food, to organs, to homes, to rocket engines see how this amazing technology is beginning to reshape our world in more ways than we can possibly imagine. Discover the state of the art technology of today, where the industry is heading, and the most promising advances happening today to improve speed, cost, and are rapidly making this technology viable as the “Build Anything” machine of the future.
