[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 1172258, member: 17605"] 3D printers won't have as much of an impact yet until it hits critical mass. I do believe every house will have a 3d printer in the next 20 years. But that just means that UPS and the others will be shipping printing material instead of products. It takes a lot of material to print out something as simple as a vase and it's far from cost effective. And as far as dentures and bridges and crowns go, yeah...the dental technician industry is dying now because of 3d printing and in house milling of crowns. They're ugly as hell since the material isn't translucent so it's only good for molars. But there's going to be lots of tech shops closing and only the great artists will survive because of the need for purdy teeth up front. Machines don't mill anterior teeth too well. [/QUOTE]
