I never really thought about 3D printing so much until last year when I heard about this class being offered. I sadly wasn’t able to sign up since it was already full. However, soon after I started hearing more about it. One of my friends actually posted on her Snapchat a video of her printing a bust of herself.  In the news they were talking about how it will revolutionize the medical field. Shortly after I saw that companies were building prototypes with 3D printers. The idea of being able to design an item and print it sounded crazy but fascinating at the same time to me. It would mean so many more entrepreneurial possibilities. I knew then that I needed to learn more about this technology if I wanted to pursue a career in product development. Especially if it was more cost effective for companies and made the design process quicker.

As Mr. Hornick mentioned to us, 3D printing will be a disruptive game changer to the world. It brings with it endless possibilities of creativity and design. I find this new revolution so interesting and I am so glad that I am able to partake in it. Although with it also comes complications including legal issues. Anyone can really own a 3D printer and once you come up with product what will stop the buyer from making their own. Entrepreneur’s can actually loose unless they find a way to stop it . There is still so much to look into for this new revolution and I can’t wait to learn more. I hope to be able to work more into creating items that people can use in their daily lives.
