2. Since the beginning of the decade,
3D printing is finally available to smalls and
medium businesses, and even individuals.
Once limited to specialized media, the
evolution of 3D printing is now widely
covered by mass media, many websites and
blogs.

6. Since its inception in 1986, only a few tens
of thousands of 3D printers have been sold,
mainly to industries and large corporations.
3D printing didn’t make it to the general
public and therefore couldn’t be considered,
until now, as a revolution...

7. The technological environment of the past
25 years was not mature enough to lead to
the democratization of 3D printing.
Therefore it has not been able to make its
revolution.
But then, what has changed today?
