Difficult question.

In 5-10 years, 3D printing will be in direct competition with virtual reality. But virtual reality is already offering near full immersion experience and it isn't even in the...

My design skills are terrible too. But your watch idea is an example of good application. And finding good applications is pretty key right now.

I agree with you completely in terms of the 'average joe right now'.

Improved ease of use, material options, and material costs will obviously start to change that. But so will demand for...

That's how industry works now due to economies of scale and globalization. Aren't 3D printers supposed to be part of the next industrial revolution?

In the meantime, standardization makes a lot of...

Optical fabrication has a future in medical devices (i.e. batch production of micro devices). Every method has a future, the question is what SLA is most efficient at and what are the alternative...

Dear Old Man Emu, (btw, isn't that an off-road suspension system made in Australia?)

Your 17 month old grandson is going to live in a world very much unlike our own. We currently have bionic...

I think it may depend on which company can disrupt a mainstream industry. For example, if Contour Crafting had a breakthrough and was able to do something like print $250K homes for $25K they would...

I agree with Lipson. If we had devices that could measure of our nutritional needs a 3D printer that optimized our meals would be pretty amazing. On the other hand, Barnatt's position seems a little...

I don't see it happening either. However, the government could purchase 3D Systems the same way Google purchased Motorola Mobility, strip the patents and then resell the company. As of today, 3D...

3D printing has been around for several decades but was unknown to the public. Key patents expired which allowed individuals to access 3D printing at very low cost. Consequently, we have witnessed...

Personally, food printing would be a killer app for me if it was connected to a nutrition program. Taste wouldn't be my primary concern if the machine managed my nutrition intake. However, I would...

I am a late adopter of technology. I have no plans to purchase a 3D printer within the next 5 years. Nevertheless, additive manufacturing will be wildly disruptive despite my absence in the market....
