PhotoThe future of 3D printing
Abstract: 3D Printers β machines that can automatically fabricate arbitrarily-shaped parts, layer by layer, from almost any material β have evolved over the last three decades from limited and expensive prototyping equipment in the hands of few, to small-scale commodity production tools available to almost anyone. Itβs been broadly recognized that this burgeoning industrial revolution will transform almost every industry, every discipline, and every aspect of our lives. But how? This talk will describe the disruptive principles underlying 3D printing, and their sprawling effect from education to medicine, from art to architecture, and from biology to archeology. And finally β where will this technology go next?
