3D Printing and Beyond: Disrupting Manufacturing through Incremental Fabrication?

3D printing enables the fabrication of parts directly from digital models an effort mostly of independent of geometric complexity and with straightforward design rules. Its widespread adoption is creating a new ecosystem for designers, engineers, and kids alike, with new tools, business models, collaboration opportunities, and much more.

No longer limited to its original "prototyping" domain, 3D printing and related techniques are headed for a fascinating future. Starting with examples of what *you* could print today, we'll try to discover the key(s) for its disruptive potential and will imagine what the future holds.
