Legal issues will limit their scope, IMO. It's definitely not in the interest of big business for these to go mainstream, so lobbies will fight to make them illegal due to the concern that joe nobody will print a fully auto bazooka in his back yard. Only time will tell if and when they'll push through to the mainstream, but just something I would consider prior to investing. I can tell you though that, Chinese manufacturing companies will be using them if it can make them more productive/efficient.

I was just there last Thrusday...
it was pretty fvckin' cool...
Honestly...
I was just there watching the whole experience...really cool...

the store can't be 1000-1200sq ft...it's right by the river..west side on Clark St
I see it's in Chicago. Is it the one you're invested in?
3DP is without doubt a HUGE opportunity. Not the easiest to invest in as so much of the economic benefits will go to large industrials that incorporate within their existing value chain. There is consolidation in the pure play sector so I'd spread your money across 2-3 companies, although don't be surprised if eventually all the shares are in the same enterprise!
I remember when it went to like .05 and peeps were like NO NO NO Don't buy, they're going to go outta business. Now, BOOM!!! Thank you...
Take a trip to the Autodesk Gallery in San Francisco and you’ll see all manner of products that have been helped along with the company’s design software--the electric Pi Cycle bike, a 3D-HD autostereoscopic display, a model of the new Bay Bridge span, and more. One day, that gallery might include human organs.
Autodesk recently announced that it’s teaming up with bioprinting company Organovo to develop software that can design human tissue to be printed out on 3-D printers. In the near future, the printed organs are expected to be used in research. But down the line, they could end up inside real, live humans--an alternative to today’s inefficient organ donation process

Not a chance.
