Will 3D printers shape the future?
What is possible with 3D printers?
Recently I have been doing research on 3D printers, and I have found some from $100 to $40k!
Obviously the quality and capabilities differ, but even the cheaper ones can still be useful to a lot of people.
However the higher end ones like the Carbon M1 have far more capabilities (Which uses Continuous Liquid Interface Production - A photochemical process that makes it possible to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution, and surface finish.)
And watching these bad boys can be very appealing :D
A 3D printer in every home..
What about when these printers become mass produced and more affordable?
Think about the types of things we will be able to make like
- Tools
- Kitchenware
- Auto parts
- Other parts
- Toys
- There are even some that print Food!
And basically pretty much anything else you can imagine..
Here are some websites with a variety of 3D printers and reviews.

If you are interested in 3D printing you might want to check out the intorductory series of articles that I'm working on here on steemit, I'm sure it will be an interesting read as there is a lot you can learn based on first hand experience.
Awesome @cryptos I will follow and check them out!
Good information
Thank you :D
The answer to your post heading is, YES!! In years to come I can see them in every house hold.
If and when man travels to Mars and yonder, it will be imperative that 3D printers are on board, so if something or a part needs to be repaired or replaced, ground-control can just send them the program for a new one to be printed. ^_^
Good Post!
Thanks!
It would be very cool..
I'm waiting to see an appealing affordable one that takes the lead on getting on in every home!
3D printers are one of the most amazing inventions in the last few years. I can see 3D printers putting a lot of people out of jobs though in factories.
3D printers, Fast food kiosk cashiers, and Artificial Intelligence.. I think we are about to see a completely new world!
Yeah maybe if computers take over the world though we will move to a society where everyone is given what they need to live made by the computers or else a lot of people will be starving. Or maybe everyone will just be posting on Steemit to earn.
Lol sounds like that movie Surrogates
I wouldnt use a 3D printer for kitchenware yet. Even the nice ones like that Carbon one have layers that can create air pockets where bacteria can grow
People use them for making mould
Interesting but kinda short.
