Episode notes

3D printing is going to introduce many applications that we can't even foresee. We often get asked, okay, why hasn't 3D printing grown as quickly as some analysts might expect? Well, if you look at survey data, so this is data that's compiled over a four-year period here,. Often companies and representatives inside those companies are saying that materials, costs, know-how, and design or process issues are barriers to adopting 3D printing. And I'll add that these are applications that we see today.

This week’s Big Ideas Monday Mini Episode focuses on 3D Printing and Robotics.

Robotics and 3D printing can collapse time from development to production, shorten supply chain footprints, reduce waste, and lower costs.

ARK estimates that manufacturing robots and 3D printing could scale at a ~80% annual rate during the next eight years, from $70 billion in 2022 to ~$9 trillion by 2030.
