Just as the term suggests,  3D printing  is the  technology  that could forge your digital design into a solid real-life product. It’s nothing new for the advanced mechanical industry, but a personal 3D printer is definitely a revolutionary idea. Everybody can create their own physical product based on their custom design, and no approval needed from any giant manufacturer! Even the James Bond’s Aston Martin which was crashed in the movie  was a 3D printed product! (Image Source:  Kickstarter ) Form 1  is one such personal 3D printer which can be yours at just $2799.

This is the future where personal productivity and creativity are maximized.
