An infographic looks at the current state of 3D printing technology, and its glorious future
3D printing is on the verge of entering mainstream culture.

In contrast, today, 3D printing is used to make anything from medical devices to fashion accessories, guns and personalised sex toys.
The infographic below, created by our friends at Farnell UK, looks at the current state of the 3D printing industry and charts the way it could develop over the next three decades.
