By that meaning just what you wrote above regarding open source 3D printers making technology, and most of all prices, more available to a wider market segment. Once the technology has evolved to embrace the end-user, imagination, greed and inventiveness will drive it to new applications.<br /><br />Maybe in the future we will see the forthcoming decade as the introduction of 3D printing for the masses (in some way) as the last 10 to 15 years made 2D laser and inkjet printing possible for home use.<br /><br />The technology that I believe has the greatest potential would be the powder-based one such as the ZPrinter's. The reason for that is that it is odourless, does not require heat and since it is based on a fully covered bed for each layer it does not require support materials. Anyone who knows ho to use an inkjet printer on paper will understand and feel "at home" with a threedimensional version of this.<br /><br />As we all know the inkjet makes sure the substance solidifies in the right place for each layer. The real fun part though would be when we can define what kind of powder is distributed and where across on the layers - meaning that a multi-material powder 3D printer would be fantastic!<br /><br /> --- While writing this I get the feeling that some VERY advanced chemistry would be necessary to cope with solidifying different materials and give them different properties.<br /><br />Your mentioning of snowflake printing is right on the spot as I see it. The ability to differ from everyone else is and has always been a great force. Anyone who sees teenagers buy clothes knows that the don't really want exactly the same as everyone else. Comparing this to the home 3D printer idea one would assume that adaptation of a design to make it unique could be a reason for at least many people to get into home 3D printing. In that case this also motivates a higher price per unit than the "boring" and plain mass-produced item.<br /><br />The road to this home 3D printing destination is still quite long but if anyone remembers the 1980s it was quite far-fetched to think about having an affordable printing press at home.CreativeToolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686831539038168879noreply@blogger.com
