Pete Basiliere3D printing and fabbing are significant disruptive technologies from personal, business and government user and supplier perspectives. Historically, 3D printing was an alternative to traditional product prototyping. Today, the market for consumer uses is posed to explode. This presentation will cover the opportunities, value and trends in 3D printing devices while touching on output quality, capital and material costs, and current and emerging products and markets.
Key Issues:
  • What 3D printing trends are affecting quality and costs?
  • How will recent technological developments influence the market and opportunities for business 3D printing?
  • Is there really a market for consumer 3D printing? How can the risks be minimized while maximizing ROI?
