The Moores Law of 3D printing… yes it does exist, and could have staggering implications... If what Reichental and other executives within 3D Systems believes to be true, turns out to in fact be the case, within the next 10 years 3D printing will be incredibly fast. If speeds double every 2 years, that equates to speeds 32 times that of today by the year 2024. For instance if a 3D printed toy car takes 4 hours to print today, by 2024 that same car would take just seven and a half minutes to print. Now, taking this a step further, a company called Local Motors is planning to 3D print an actual car in Chicago this September. They expect the process to take around 5-6 days. If what 3D Systems predicts, becomes reality, that same car will only take about four and a half hours to print within a decade’s time.
