3D printing and manufacturing, with DSMLF

3D printing is the process of creating a physical object by printing it layer upon layer from a digital 3D drawing or model. It has the potential to create very complex products without complex bespoke equipment. It also enables rapid iterative design and mass customisation, and is likely to significantly reduce costs of transport and waste.

According to the World Economic Forum, the first 3D-printed car will be in production in 2022. Eventually 3D printers will be able to do what a whole factory was once required to accomplish. Over time, 3D printers will overcome the obstacles of speed, cost and size, and become more pervasive.

What are the implications?

This meeting, organised by DSMLF with support from London Futurists, is your opportunity to explore the different capabilities of 3D printing, the resulting market impact, and new business models for this emerging technology. Explore the future now!
