ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A few times each decade investors and really, the world, are introduced to a seismic shift in the way things are done. A disruptive technology emerges as a game changer of epic proportions. This time those proportions are being measured in the billions… $21 billion to be precise, and the news is coming through one of the largest shippers of goods in the world.

A stunning report from United Parcel Service (UPS) and the Consumer Technology Association forecasts that the still nascent 3D printing market which has grown at 30% year-over-year previously could explode to $21 billion per year by 2020. The detailed report paints a tremendously bright future for a 3D printing market that includes machines, materials and printing services

3D printing is seen by many to be the next-big-thing in manufacturing, a revolutionary way to design and create new goods. For those coming late to the discussion, 3D printing is a process for making a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by laying down many successive thin layers of a material.

Consider that in a Forbes article from three years ago, the business magazine reported that 3D painting has been used to make replacement organs for transplant patients.
