Besides just being awesome, 3D printing technology actually has some other really great benefits:
1. Green: Finished products do not need to be shipped long distances, drastically reducing an item's carbon footprint. Additionally, exact quantities of materials are used which reduces waste.
2. Inventory: Being able to print exactly what one needs immediately when needed eliminates the necessity of keeping large inventories of products.
3. Convenience/Speed: Being able to print any object allows one to instantly have the desired object. This provides significant timesaving as one can obtain an object without having to order it or travel to a store.
4. Flexibility and Control: The ability to product an object anytime, any place, anywhere allows for flexibility and control.
5. Cost Savings: Cost of objects are comparible if not cheaper than those on would buy in a store because 3D printing only uses the exact amount of material needed to product an object.
All the more reason to look forward to the future of 3D printing! Keep checking back for news and updates about the 3D printing revolution!
