3D Printing Theft – Is it Time For a 3D Printing Law Firm? Association of 3D Printing

At last weeks’ Gartner Symposium/ITxpo conference in Florida, the company released their “Top Predictions for IT Organizations and Users for 2014 and Beyond.” The report contained this ugly, probably inevitable prediction: By 2018, 3D printing will result in the loss of at least $100 billion per year in intellectual property globally. At least one major western manufacturer will claim to have had intellectual property (IP) stolen for a mainstream product by thieves using 3D printers who will likely reside in those same western markets rather than in Asia by 2015.

3D Printed Meat. Is Artificial Meat a Good 3D Printing Investment? 3D Printing Ventures

The meat Brown is pulling apart looks normal enough: beige flesh that separates into long strands. It would not be out of place in a chicken salad or Caesar wrap. Bob Prusha, a colleague of Brown’s, stands over a stove sautéing a batch for us to eat. But the meat Brown is fiddling with and Prusha is frying is far from ordinary. It’s actually not meat at all.

3D Printing Patents and 3D Printing Firms. The USA Leads the 3D Printing IP Race

After analyzing 9000 patent records filed since 1980, a team of IPO researchers pinpointed a rapid upswing in 3D printing related patents; particularly in the fields of biomedicine, circuitry and electrode fabrication. While the US is still, by far and away, the top IP generator when it comes to 3D printing patents, multinationals based outside of the US have shown a strong interest in developing 3D printing related technology.

Seven 3D Printing Trends – Where is the 3D Printing Industry Heading - Association of 3D Printing

Here are 7 trends in the 3D Printing Industry... There will be less “big manufactured” goods. Specialty manufacturing will take some of that industry away. There will be less manufacturing jobs. If audiologists can print on site and on demand, what happens to the people in the hearing aid factory? Less shipping. Instead of placing the washer in the envelope and sending it, I (or my local hardware store) can print it when I need it...
