What do you think we will be 3D printing in 10 years?

In 10 year, I think we would be printing custom gear that people could wear, crazy nanotechnologies, bones, and organs.

What do you think we will be 3D printing in 10 years?

I expect to see a lot more being done in the medical field and in low-cost housing. Those 2 have been in the spotlight over the past decade, but are still very much in developmental stages. I'm sure we'll see a lot more in the food industry as well.

Smart cities is a hot topic. 3D printing is a vital tool that will address city issues of housing and mobility.

Just about everything except the filaments that are made in a bioreactor, which is printed though. Looks bad for big production facilities as we know them. Everything will be customized for individual needs.

Human skin, for burn patients.

I think 3D printed houses will be an ordinary sight.

More cool stuff, maybe even things made of metal

FDM will probably seem primitive, like floppy disks seem to us today.
Even SLS will seem too cumbersome, as some new tech will probably conquer the market with simplicity, cost effectiveness and ability.

We'll probably see printers everywhere, too, like photo print shops were some 5-10 years ago. In many more homes too, especially if some major breakthrough with 3D modeling makes it more intuitive and easy to create in 3D.

faster printing. metal filament. may be even bio printer.

I think the average person will be printing out objects that they use every day without thinking about it. You will see popular models being printed by the millions and will see trends sweep across the world. There will be fashion accessories, improvements to vehicles and other equipment.
