2017 Will Be an Explosive Year for 3D Printing Industry

[Brian_Krassenstein]

3D printing has been coming a long way in the past few years, and it's looking like 2017 might just be a huge year for some developments culminating that will have a major impact on the shape of the industry. 3DPrint.com's Eddie has compiled some predictions that lead to 2017 being this key year. Among the factors shaping the trends are HP's entrance into the 3D printing arena with its potentially game-changing Multi Jet Fusion Technology, HSS (High Speed Sintering) technology from the University of Sheffield, CLIP (Continuous Liquid Interface Production) technology from Carbon3D, and other ripples that will be affected by these technologies.

Great article Brian. I like how you mentioned that "some areas of industry are being over-hyped". I think that's an understatement, with all these new 3D print starter companies and none of them actually gaining any traction, it kind of makes the industry look like a circus.
