every day a new 3D printing material

摘要

In his book, 3D Printing Will Rock the World, John Hornick makes the analogy that today's "3D printers are like the steam engines in 1765, when James Watt took the invention....and made it an efficient useful working machine." He goes on to suggest that future 3D printing technology will be like jet engines compared to Watts' original steam engine design. Developing printer filaments will clearly be one of the fuels powering those advancements and paramount for investigation, study, and STEM educational utilization.
