In 2020, 3D printers will get faster, smarter and more versatile, 'colonizing' a wider range of environments—making 3D printing 1 of the most transformational technologies in the 4th industrial revolution
. Meanwhile, 3D printing technology for industry has also progressed very rapidly—and it’s a space to watch closely in 2020.
3D printing allows the use of new materials—and in turn it spurs materials science research to develop yet new materials best suited to the additive process. Aided by AI and spurred by 3D printing,Additive manufacturing plays a major role in the Industry 4.0 revolution; it will help upend traditional economies of scale, making microfactories economically efficient; and it’s already contributing to reshape global supply chains, strengthening local networks.
3D printers will become more versatile, able to handle and combine an expanding variety of materials.has developed machines able to print different metals, superalloys, nylon and chopped carbon fiber. Impossible Objects has partnered with BASF to accelerate the development of new materials for additive manufacturing. “3D printing is a materials science problem”, says Impossible Objects’ Bob Swartz.
