Three-dimensional printing technology is developing rapidly, although to gain a sufficient level of consumer recognition, they will be able to only 5-10 years, according to analysts Gartner study Hype Cycle for 3D Printing, 2014. Today, about 40 manufacturers offer bulk printing device-oriented, primarily for industrial use, and more than 200 start-ups develop and sell consumer 3D-printers for as low as a few hundred dollars.
In addition, 3D-printing is not limited to a single technology, but rather a complex ecosystem, which also includes the software, hardware and materials, with different types of printers work differently.
Meanwhile, in a variety of industries 3D-printing is rapidly gaining popularity in the next two to five years. Analysts expect that the three-dimensional printing will be used extensively in medicine for the manufacture of dentures and implants, which also contribute to the development of technology.
