LET'S SPEAK 3D PRINTING!
The true power of additive manufacturing lies in the new opportunities, products, and services that 3D-printing technologies will make possible. Let's explore a few of them.

Today, you might 3D-print a hammer to use to hang a photograph on your wall. The photograph itself could be 3D-printed in full color as a single object that includes a frame, as well as a cover pane of transparent plastic that gives the photo the same look and feel as a traditional framed picture.
An additive manufacturing technology improves in sophistication - to the point of printing complex, multiple-material objects such as integrated electronics and composite interlocking structures.
Buildings and Bridges
BUILD
The time has come - much larger 3D printers can extrude concrete and fabricate complete structures, like houses or bridges. Soon, emergency shelters created for use after natural disasters will be available. Helping hurricane, earthquake and tidal waves survivals staying in solid shelters formed from natural materials present in the local environment.
Additive manufacturing techniques also allow the creation of complex interior spaces to accommodate wiring, plumbing, and insulation. This process is quicker and more efficient than creating such spaces in traditional concrete slabs poured into wood frames.
A pair of robotic arms can print full-size bridge in its intended location, rather than pieces and parts to be assembled. The bridge can be completed in less time than traditional manufacturing would take.
The industry of printing homes and bridges has arrived.
