Print nice.

3D PRINTING• Additive manufacturing • Around since the ‘80s • Printing 3 dimensional objects • Layer by layer, automatic control

• Plastic • Wood • Ceramic • Organic materials… (Food! Limbs & organs!)

3D printing…?

Circular economy...?

Print nice.

Implications

• Medical – custom prosthetics, limbs • Industry – car parts, rockets • Production, storage & storage – locally produced, no storage needed, close to consumption
