Top 6 Innovations
in 3D Printing


1) The Printing Welder





2) Speed Printing
. Carbon3D’s “Continuous Liquid Interface Production” approach creates monolithic forms out a pool of polymer. And it happens to be 25 to 100 times faster than other printers on the market, with the potential, to be 1000 times faster.



3) Powerful Personal Applications
The world of biomedicine is where 3D printing technology has the greatest potential to significantly alter people’s lives for the better.

4) Prints in Space
The innovation of a new, primarily 3D printed, reusable rocket is exponentially delivering new opportunities in space travel, mining, and colonization.

5) On the Cheap
 XYZ  CEO, Simon Shen has  plans to deliver 3D printers to every school in China.

6) Phone Printer
Jeng-Ywan Jeng, a professor of mechanical engineering and the dean of the engineering department at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, has invented a printer that uses light from a cell phone to polymerize liquid resin.  Jeng’s dream is to have the phone make the scan and then use its light in the tiny printer to print the end product.
