…mature, what is the next step for this disruptive technology? Filemon Schoffer is co-founder and CCO of 3DHubs. In the early 1990s, 3D printing was touted to have a profound effect on the way we live our lives. 3D printers in every house would print everything from school lunches to hoverboards. Although the majority of these Jetson-esque predictions have (so far) failed to materialize, the applicability of additive manufacturing (AM) today is no less impressive. Most of the things made with AM over the past year weren’t futuristic gadgets—although here’s a list of “50 cool things to 3D print in…
