Top 10 3D Printing Technologies, Events and Applications of 2016 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

While it was a somewhat challenging year for the entire industry, 2016 will probably be remembered as the year when 3D printing finally moved away from prototyping as most 3D printer manufacturers came to the realization that the future is digital production. This realization was driven by giant companies like HP, GE and others, investing significant resources toward this new objective, with this reflecting on all other players, including low cost filament based system manufacturers. Our list of the top applications for 2016 can but reflect this trend.
