In a way 3D printing has been on the verge of entering a new era since it was invented in 1986. The risk here is that it “is, was and always will be the future of manufacturing”. The reality, fortunately, is that while that may be so, the industry is really coming into its own and the hugely successful 2016 edition of formnext is a clear indication of what that may mean.
