3D printing

Is 3D printing the next billion dollar idea?

You might know 3D printing from all those "I build a gun with my 3D printer" articles but there is much more than that. Companies started to use 3D printer to build prototypes, individual tools or the product itself.

It seems that the possibilities are countless. Let's have a look at the most interesting ideas in the industry:

1. 3D printed pasta - barilla is working on a pasta printer for every pasta shape 
2. 3D print yourself - ever wanted a status quo of yourself? Print yourself every other year and have a great memory of every decade (what a weird way to show your grandkids how it was to live in the 21th century. 
3. 3D print at home - read this article if you think about getting your own 3D-printer 
4. 3D print you own home - it is possible to print a hole house within a day, what a possibility for rescue camps! 

Here are my ideas how to dip in your foot in that (new) rising industry:

• create an easy to use 3D software
• research in materials that can be used in 3D printing
• create 3D models and products (from iphone cases to chairs to your own dream house) 

What an interesting topic. There are so many opportunities. And think about of all the pros, there is literally no trash, if you have a printer at home there is no delivery necessary and you can nearly print ANYTHING! So be crative an become a 3D printing billionaire!
