Cheap Products
Widespread adaptation and application of 3D printing will in the near future reduce the prices of products substantially, by eliminating the need to ship items thus the need to pay for shipping charges. Consumers will only be purchasing blueprints then printing the products at home. This will make products extremely cheap especially those bought overseas. Home-crafting Industrialized Objects
3D printing is basically transforming our homes to small factories where we can fabricate practically anything we want. With a 3D printer, one can fabricate objects that were previously made at the industry level such as violins, guitars, rings, jewellery, toy cars and even a bicycle. Micro and Nano Structures
The Photonic Professional GT is a 3D printer that can create objects of widths as small as a human hair. This 3D printer has extended the applications of 3D printing into fabrication of micro and nano structures. Applications in the Medical Field
One of the greatest benefits of 3D printing has been experienced through its facilitation of organ transplants in the medical field. Scientists now Use 3D Printing to Create Artificial Organs that can be used in transplants to help needy patients. For instance, deformed babies who are born without an ear(s) can now be given artificial ears made through 3D printing. The technology has proven to be a great medical solution to previous organ transplant challenges. Advanced 3D Prototyping
Before 3D printing had its foothold in the creation of prototypes, it would take normal prototyping procedures a few days to create a single complete prototype. Additive manufacturing however takes only a few hours, substantially increasing the number of prototypes that can be created a day. This has sped up industrialization processes to a great extent because it is now quite easy to Create a Prototype, make modifications and then produce the final product. Essentially, the technology has made it easy to convert an idea into the actual product.

The saying ‘records are made to be broken’ certainly rings true today as Beijing’s amazing 3D printed Vulcan Pavilion has been ousted as the world’s largest 3D printed structure. The Vulcan, which measured in at an impressive 8.08 meters in length by 2.88 meters in height, has been dwarfed by Beijing’s newRise Pavilion which was realized through a collaborative and educational effort. The new pavilion, which weighs a total of 1.8 tons, spans 110 square meters and measures 3.4 meters in height, was officially awarded the Guinness World Record for largest 3D printed structure on August 20th, 2016.

3D printing technologies have proved themselves to be beneficial within the medical sector in a number of ways, including the timely manufacturing of custom-designed implants and prosthetics, as well as the creation of bespoke anatomical parts for surgical planning and training. This latter application has the potential to not only help doctors become familiar with specific patients’ anatomies before the actual surgery, but could effectively help save lives. According to Thomas Marchand, founder of French startupBiomodex, this is exactly what his company has set out to do.

Additive Manufacturing Europe 2016 has just closed its Amsterdam doors, but featured a wide range of interesting workshops, speakers and perspectives on the 3D printing future. 3D printer manufacturers were of course also present in force, which highlighted a remarkable trend: FDM 3D printers are no longer confined to desktops. Very large 3D printers, tall enough to 3D print complete pieces of furniture, architectural models or even full-sized 3D selfies, are becoming more and more common. 3ders.org looked at some of the biggest machines at Additive Manufacturing Europe.

We’ve all 3D printed with PLA or ABS, and some of us have even 3D printed objects out of hemp or beer based bio-filaments, but it is doubtful that many of us have ever even considered 3D printing with orange peel, or even stranger, shrimp peel filaments! To a team of students from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IaaC) in Spain, however, this idea has not seemed so far-fetched.

The Eastern European nation of Hungary has just set an excellent example when it comes to educational 3D printing. The country’s 3DTECH in Schools program has taken a huge leap forward by welcoming Hungarian 3D printer manufacturer CrafUnique and 3D modeling software developers Leopoly to their team. Together, they are aiming to install 3D printers in every Hungarian educational institute within the next three years, and have just provided a further ten schools with 3D printers to take the total current number up to twenty-one.
