3-D printing goes from sci-fi fantasy to reality
June 02, 2013 9:39 AM EDT
SAN MATEO, Calif. (AP) — Invisalign, a San Jose company, uses 3-D printing to make each mouthful of customized, transparent braces. Mackenzies Chocolates, a confectioner in Santa Cruz, uses a 3-D printer to pump out chocolate molds. And earlier this year, Cornell University researchers used a 3-D printer, along with injections of a special collagen gel, to create a human-shaped ear.

Once a science-fiction fantasy, three-dimensional printers are popping up everywhere from the desks of home hobbyists to Air Force drone research centers. The machines, generally the size of a microwave oven and costing $400 to more than $500,000, extrude layer upon layer of plastics or other materials, including metal, to create 3-D objects with moving parts.

Users are able to make just about anything they like: iPad stands, guitars, jewelry, even guns. But experts warn this cool innovation could soon turn controversial — because of safety concerns but also the potential for the technology to alter economies that rely on manufacturing.

"We believe that 3-D printing is fundamentally changing the manufacturing ecosystem in its entirety — how and where products are made and by whom," said Peter Weijmarshausen, CEO of New York-based Shapeways, an online company that makes and sells 3-D printed products designed by individuals. Products include a delicate, twig-like egg cup (cost: $8.10) and a lamp that looks like a nuclear mushroom cloud (cost: $1,388.66).

"We're on the verge of the next industrial revolution, no doubt about it," added Dartmouth College business professor Richard D'Aveni. "In 25 years, entire industries are going to disappear. Countries relying on mass manufacturing are going to find themselves with no revenues and no jobs."

On ground, sea or air, when parts break, new ones can be made on the spot, and even the tools to install them can be made, eliminating the need for staging parts in warehouses around the world, said Jeff DeGrange, vice president of Direct Digital Manufacturing at Stratasys Inc., currently the industry leader in a field of about 50 3-D printer companies.

"We're going to see innovation happening at a much higher rate, introduction of products at a much higher rate," said DeGrange. "We live in an on-demand world now, and we'll see production schedules are going to be greatly compressed."

Airplane mechanics could print a replacement part on the runway. A dishwasher repairman could make a new gasket in his service truck. A surgeon could print a knee implant custom-designed to fit a patient's body.

But the military, D'Aveni said, is likely to be among the first major users of 3-D printers, because of the urgency of warfare.

"Imagine a soldier on a firebase in the mountains of Afghanistan. A squad is attacked by insurgents. The ammunition starts to run out. Is it worth waiting hours and risking the lives of helicopter pilots to drop it near you, or is it worth a more expensive system that can manufacture weapons and ammunition on the spot?" he said.

In the past two years, the U.S. Defense Department has spent more than $2 million on 3-D printers, supplies and upkeep, according to federal contract records. Their uses range from medical research to weapons development. In addition, the Obama administration has launched a $30 million pilot program that includes researching how to use 3-D printing to build weapons parts.

NASA is also wading into this arena, spending $500,000 in the past two years on 3-D printing. Its Lunar Science Institute has published descriptions of how it is exploring the possibility of using the printers to build everything from spacecraft parts while in orbit to a lunar base.

While the U.S. is pursuing the military advantages of 3-D printing, it's also dealing with the potential dangers of the technology. On May 9, the State Department ordered a group to take down online blueprints for a 3-D printable handgun, and federal lawmakers and some state legislatures are contemplating proposals to restrict future posting of weapons plans.

Since 2007, when these printers first entered the mainstream marketplace, sales have grown by 7.2 percent each year, according to IBIS World, a company that tracks the industry. Sales are projected to jump from about $1.7 billion in 2011 to $3.7 billion in 2015.

Cliff Waldman, a senior economist at the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation, a group that promotes the role of manufacturing in global economies, said it's still too soon to know exactly what impact this 3-D technology could have on more traditional manufacturing. However, he doesn't envision it changing the "fundamental shape" of manufacturing, as others suggest.

"I think 3-D has the capacity to impact both products and processes," he said. "I am not ready to say that it is completely disruptive, however. It might be in a few narrow industries."

Starting in June, office supply chain Staples plans to be the first major retailer to supply 3-D printers with "the Cube," a plug-in device that uses 16 colors and costs $1,299. And in September the smallest and cheapest 3-D printer on the market — a printing pen priced from $50 — is due to start shipping. Similar to a glue gun, the 3Doodler plugs into the wall and is filled with cylinders of plastic that come out of a 518-degree Fahrenheit tip. Once the plastic leaves the pen it cools and hardens.

Makers Peter Dilworth, an inventor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Maxwell Bogue, a toy maker, first pitched their pens earlier this year on a website for startup projects. They sought $30,000 and wound up collecting $2.3 million from more than 26,000 investors, who each got one of the 3-D pens. Four artists who teamed up with the men have used the pens to make a mini Eiffel Tower, earrings and butterfly pendants.

Why would you be shocked??..Look at this guys history..
He was one of the biggest pumpers here when the stock headed up.
Now that it,s going down he wasted no time to jump on that bandwagon.No secret as to his agenda....savve???

Darn $20.80 just about hit this morning. I was so focused on the
3 Ds,I flat out missed it ( Think it,ll come back quickly??
Like manana?Still up a little,got in low $19s.

Not too bad,not too bad )....Better yet...I spied on your posts.
Got some EWV and SPWR as well.Am already out EWV and X1 with a big smile ))
Ooops,almost forgot,have a great loooong weekend.

Yo're right,back in black....by quite a nice margin too. Thx

I learned 1 very expensive lesson today.Never..ever..ever buy when Bernanke is due to speak.

Sold 50 3d contracts @ 2.57(paid $2.00)
But bought2K X1 @43.60 and" worse" 10 ssys june 22 $90. @ $ 4.00

Scared me.....,sold early for a nice profit. BUT!!...I really thought 3D $s would go into X1 and SSYS.BIG mistake (....right now I'm getting killed.

Judging by your picture...It worked lol

I grant you that Customization and personalization is one of the keys.
Something not often talked about & IMO even bigger is the fact that once this tech becomes commonplace it would be possible to"fax"a product between printers from:say,Hongkong to NY, within seconds,print it out@ the receiving end and save shipping time and cost.
Can you see it for celebrations?"Honey,turn your 3D printer on,I'm sending your Bday/Xmas present over right now!!"
It wasn't long ago that people would go to print shops for faxing or printing needs.Now there's one in every home.
No reason why 3D can't do the same.
Trick is to invest in the right Co.which will evolve,succeed&survive.

I like your avatar shylo.If you google Cyrus Sarati,who wrote this piece,you,ll notice that he is referred to as a "Freelance Hack"by other writers....I wonder why )

Just in case he's off line...The Cheddar thing comes from the Book "who moved my cheese"
Night!Time to watch some Hockey!!

No,not a min. after....immediately after the order filled.

About information on pinks...hard to find.
N/A is the most common response when searching about fundamentals such as P/E,etc.Anyone knows what actual fair value is on VTSI?
I'd love to know but I don't know the formula.

Here's a good one!!Got back in @41.90 but I guess TD let me over-buy as I got an immediate margin call.1 min.later,however,I,m up 4%,margin call dissapears,I actually got a few K buying power and right now I have that big s..t eating grin on my face.)

About 1 1/2 hrs.ago CNBC did a little something,regarding todays high volume trading.However,it sounded positive!!!
So...,just to be sure that a negative spin would prevail they finished the report with old rumors from 2 weeks ago,stating that Z10 had supply problems and Q10 likely would follow suit.

That uh,Bernanke um,sure uh,is a uh ,fine uh, speaker.uh,considering uh ,he should uh, be used to uh, public uh speaking Uh,right?,,,,

now past 6m shares traded.Can we assume that the entire offering has been absorbed already? 6m x $41 = $244m

bwahahahahahaha ....you slay me Bill ....I am giving you my Hoot of the day award
)

Same here,sold @ 40.97.Judging by the huge volume jump right around 3;55 and after hours,something must be up.

I bet some of the shorts got burned badly
today.You just know they jumped all over the dilution announcement. )

20%+ spread B/A .0493/.059.Gotta love those pinkies lol

Ty.....hopefully I wasn.t the only one wondering.One doesn't like to be alone when asking dumb Qs. )

Just curious;who authorizes a halt?Can the company request it?The SEC?The Exchange?Who?....Anyone know?

Well excuuuuuse me for asking!!I guess not everybody here is as smart as you seem to be and likes to hear the boards opinion on some of these PRs;especially when they originate from seeking alpha.

So which of the 3 should benefit the most from Staples involvement;Ddd, Xone or Ssys?

"Mobile computing!!"Thorsten Heins has been touting it repeatedly,so we know they're working on it.
Facebook just reported earnings boosted by "Mobile Computing".
If it works for Facebook,it will work for us!!
Here's to the future )
Go BBRY

Kinda be like GM buying Jaguar..huh?

"Big Picture!!" It all comes down to this:
2 years ago this was a $48 PPS Co.Since then Heins has taken over,completely turned the finances around,brought out several new,some say "great"products with several more to come.
So,what does it come down to??Do you believe the Co. is in better shape now than it was 2 years ago @ a third of the price?
I certainly think so and am putting my $s where my mouth is.
Jumped all over the dip with options and 3K more shares this morn'
All this of course is only IMHO.
Oops...had to Edit(want to be sure disclosure is factual)Didn't get the options as I thought;just the shares.

BTRSTN,you can always get back in on a dip.

It means they got "dandruff" )...just kidding lol.
