The impacts of 3D printing go beyond its practical benefits. According to The Guardian, the technology is expected to be worth no less than $1.3 billion by 2021 and looks set to disrupt the cost
3D printing, sometimes referred to as additive manufacturing, is a production technique that creates a three-dimensional physical object from a digital design file. The term covers several different processes, all involving one or more materials – typically plastic, metal, wax or composite – being deposited layer by layer to build a structure.
