3D Printing - Consumer Expectations

3D Printers can print in hundreds of different types of materials, but can they all be achieved in your household? Absolutely not. Consumers seem to have high expectations of 3D printers made for the household in relation to its strength, cost, quality and usability.

Steve, you are right, but that's what is so great about technology. It advances. I think in the next 15 years we will see people printing in just about all consumer materials from their homes and garages.

Steve, look at everything that PC's couldn't do in the 80s that they can do now. I fully expect that we will see 3D printers evolve a lot quicker than PCs.
