The 3D printer was something new for me. When the professor mentioned in class a few weeks ago, I was amazed by imaging a printer that can make things, wow. But the best thing was seeing it in action. I think this new initiative of printing things in 3D will create a huge impact in the market once it passes through quality assurance tests in order to convert this item into a consumer good. I believe the market will react in a positive way towards this new way of printing opening doors for new manufacturing companies to start making these printers. In my opinion, I would definitely buy one of them once they become more affordable for my pocket. J I will use it to print all kind of stuff, such as building models, little toys, statues, etc. I also think that a great part of the market where this printer will cause sensations will be in the family market. Just imaging parents buying these printers to be able to print any toy that their children want. This is something big. In addition, I think this new way of printing relates to what we’ve reading in class about Manovich because printing in 3D has the five elements that characterize something as a form of new media.
