Abstract

In this paper, we analyse the evolution of 3D printing technology, its applications and numerous social, economic, geopolitical, security and environmental consequences. We compare some of the most significant existing 3D printing solutions, taking into account the acquisition price, the technical specifications, their main advantages and limitations. Just as it happened in the past decades with the personal computers and Internet, the impact of 3-D printing will gradually increase in the future, leading to significant transformations, redefining our everyday life, economy and society.
