Hurco has invented an adapter that can turn typical CNC milling machines into full fledged 3D printers. The adapter, which they have filed a U.S. patent application for this week, could allow thousands of manufacturers to gain access to 3D printing without needing to purchase an entire printer.

Do you think that such a technology could increase the widespread use of 3D printers in manufacturing?
