3-D Printing Revolutionizes
Manufacturing
Many types of goods that are now produced in a factory may soon be created via 3-D printing. These new three-dimensional printers create 3-D objects by laying down successive layers of material.
New 3-D printers can use a wide range of materials—plastic, glass, steel, even titanium. Industrial 3-D printers are being used to make everything from lampshades and eyeglasses to custom-fitted prosthetic limbs.
Eventually, everyone might have access to these 3-D printers, just like we have access to inkjet printers today. You order the plans from the company, but instead of waiting for FedEx to deliver it, you just hit print and get it in minutes.
