Intel's CEO Brian Krzanich About 3D Printing - Reddit AMA

[Maggie]

I always like to hear from the CEO's of top tech companies on their thoughts on 3D Printing. No doubt, in order to be the CEO of a company like Intel, you have to have a good handle on technology trends. Well Intel's CEO Brian Krzanich did a reddit AMA yesterday, and he gave his opinion of the 3D printing market.

One Reddit user asked Krzanich if he sees 3D printing as taking a big role in chip and board production in the future
His response was:

"It will change the business innovation world over the next few years."

He continued:

"I don't even think we've scratched the surface on how 3D printing will change the way things get made," he said. "New materials and capabilities will continue to be developed and be able to be 3D printed, and as that occur, more and more uses will be identified and whole industries will be changed."

Clearly he seems extremely bullish on the technology.

Let's hope he's right. I agree that the 3D printers we see now are probably not nearly as good as what we will see in a decade from now. In 10 years we will be wondering how 3D printers of our generation could entertain us so much.
