SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS)— As the technology improves and costs come down, 3D printers are getting closer to becoming mainstream. Consumers can expect more user-friendly models to be introduced for homes, the workplace and in classrooms.
Terry Wohlers, a 3D printing industry consultant said that while 3D printers may continue to be used somewhat sparingly at home, their use in schools from elementary to college is on the upswing.
“It’s very important to introduce the technology to young people to help shape and create this new generation of designers and makers,” he said.
