dc.description.abstractIt is argued that the printing press is one of the most revolutionizing inventions that humanity has ever developed (Kreis). It spread information both quickly and accurately, and connected people across hundreds of miles to the same, standardized information. Scientists could compare experiments, validate results, and publish nationally all because of one machine. It raised the literacy standards immensely and encouraged reading, writing, and learning to all people (Kreis). Look forward 500 years and technology has pushed civilization forward to the point where paper printing is generally accepted as a commodity. Even further, printing itself has become an entire new industry due.to the invention of the three dimensional (3D) printer. Printing has both literally and figuratively taken on a new dimension. It's no longer just about getting words on paper, but getting a design in the computer. Just like the original printing press, it is possible that the ramifications from this rising science and art have not even been fully discovered. With all that said, what are the limits, possibilities, and future of 3D printing? Will there be another revolution that we can't see coming? The following paper will explore these areas and take a deep dive into what 3D printing is, its properties, and future as an industry.en_US
