3D printing is still an emerging technology, but it is becoming more widely used in manufacturing. 3D printing (also called additive manufacturing) has gained popularity in the United States due to its numerous advantages, such as increased design flexibility, reduced waste, and the ability to create complex shapes.

There are still some advances that need to be made before 3D printing can replace traditional manufacturing methods. These include the cost of equipment and materials, limitations in printing speed and scale, and the need for skilled people who can design and operate 3D printing systems effectively. Maybe one day you will be one of those people!
