3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing) is the process of making three-dimensional solid objects from digital designs. With the number of desktop 3D printers sold annually expected to grow by an amazing 750% by 2019, combined with the rapid increase in the number of different machines available on the market over the last two years, it’s clear many consumers are simply becoming overwhelmed.

Is 3D Printing Going To ‘Take Off’ ?

The quick answer is that some of the world’s largest corporations have plans already in place to begin using 3D printing, if they don’t already do so.
Boeing has not only filed a patent for 3D-printed aircraft parts, Nathan Hulings confirmed as at March 2015 more than 20,000 non-metallic additive manufactured parts were already being used on Boeing aircraft (including 150 on the F/A-18 Super Hornet). Source: GeekWire

Even Amazon has a patent in place for “Providing Services Related to Item Delivery via 3D Manufacturing on Demand” and the patent specifically states an example of providing products “using a 3D manufacturing apparatus [108] located in a warehouse or on a truck owned by the service provider”.
