3D Printers

3D printing is one of the hottest topics in print today. In fact, IDC has identified 3D printing as one of the core innovation accelerators for the 3rd Platform. This recognition is a signal that this market, which has been around for 30 years, is ready to transition from a market hype status to a technology that brings innovation and disruption to the materializing of all sorts of physical things from digital blueprints.
