3D Printing
Since the 1980’s, the use of 3D printing has been mainly restricted to rapid prototyping applications in highly specialised work settings. Today, as 3D printers become easier to use and as the range of materials being processed expands, a massive democratisation is taking place. 3D printing is being introduced in almost every manufacturing setting. This shifts the basis of competition in the entire industry, turning traditional supply chains upside down.
