5-10 years is an eternity now-a-days when talking technology. In my opinion within 2-3 years we will begin to find some pretty high quality printers in stores like Staples, Home depot, Lowes, and Walmart. These will be top of the line $10k+ printers, and in 2 years they will have a lot more capabilities than they do now. On the other hand I also think that within 5-6 years those same printers will be able to be purchased for a couple grand and installed within homes. In 10 years those same printers will be 20-30 times more powerful, and their utility will be staggering. People underestimate how far we will come by 2023. I honestly think that by then we will be able to print out with dozens of different materials in one machine.

The future will look crazy
