The Many Dimensions of 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing

January 15, 2018

The rise of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, will revolutionize global commerce. Companies will begin to shift away from standardized products, produced in massive factories, thousands of miles away from the point-of-sale. Retailers and consumers will likely take a bigger role – producing products in small batches on-demand, reducing unit costs, increasing customization and driving significant demand for software, hardware, and production materials.
