Background : 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is revolutionising prototyping and the production of end-products. This technology is concentrated in two different segments of the market: high-end industrial printing and lower-end consumer printing (PwC, 2014). In addition, according to Faludi, et al. (2015), the 3D printing industry is moving towards a future where sustainable manufacturing will be prevalent. However, very few studies have focused on market analysis and design futuring with regard to 3D printing. Moreover, most previous studies have paid little attention to research on the new applications of and sustainable development associated with this technology; therefore, more research on these issues is needed. The aim of this study is to analyze the market of 3D printing technology and to consider the future of sustainable design using 3D printing technology.
Methods : This study undertook a literature and market review and examined cases involving 3D printing technology. Cases were selected from two major categories–professional printing and personal printing– and focused on case studies that exemplified sustainable 3D printing, as highlighted by the literature review. Furthermore, this study draws on the sociology of expectations in order to analyze the hopes and future visions associated with 3D printing technology. The analysis made use of a variety of published materials, such as books and theses.
Results : The following results were reached. Firstly, professional 3D printing has been very successful. It has brought about significant changes to the high-end market and continues to do so. This technology also has the potential for delivering customization within the mass market. Secondly, 3D printing is moving from professional printing to personal use and becoming a very useful tool for the general public. However, an important step in this development would be the use of sustainable materials and a more efficient printing system.
Conclusions : Although this technology presents challenges for a variety of reasons, it is nonetheless a creative and sustainable innovation. In addition, sustainable materials and open source software can help in the future application of sustainable design using 3D printing technology.
Thus, this study will provide information to people in disadvantaged situations previously excluded from the business world and academia, and facilitate their contributions to the development of 3D printing for design.
