This article mentions that while some people say that 3D printing saves on transportation, it costs a lot for the electricity to heat the materials. It focuses on metal 3D printing which requires a much higher base temperature for the material to melt.

This statement comes directly from a 3D printing company. They say that it is extremely clean to do and leaves almost no waste material. This has to be taken with a grain of salt because there goal is to sell 3D printers to you.

This article is very interesting because it suggests that 3D printing is by far worse than traditional manufacturing and shipping for many reasons including, counterintuitively, a waste of materials. It also suggests that this may be solved by only using 3D printers for prototyping.

3D printing has helped medical fields improve drastically. With a 3D printer, not only is money saved, but the manufacturing efficiency is increased. Both dental laboratories and the development of hearing aids have been made simpler with the help of 3D printing. Additionally, tissue engineering has been improved.

The money saved from 3D printing is one of the major impacts on society. 3D printing has recently been used in hospitals to save money. Hospitals are in need of cable tethers to prevent cables from being tangled; however, the total cost of buying these tethers can add up. Therefore to save money the hospital made the cable tethers with a 3D printer.

This article on 3D printing will be useful in explaining its impact on society. It focuses on how 3D printing is being used to support research. With this support, 3D printing can hopefully be used to help people with movement disorders, such as cerebral palsy. Additionally, the institution of 3D printing with education can save schools thousands of dollars. Through these developments, it is evident that 3D printing can successfully impact society.
