3D printing to shake up retail sector
First a novelty, then a useful and potentially disruptive device, 3D printing is the words on everyone's lips today. In a near future, consumers will be able to print not just toys for kids, but also human prostheses, bones and even vital organs, not to mention more state-of-the-art machinery. NASA has already launched a research with an ultimate goal of using the new technology for food replication. Bound to have a wide commercial application, 3D printers will no doubt reshape the retail environment.
