Will 3D printers become the next necessary home appliance, like Microwave ovens? It's really convenient to send a 3D file to a shop and collect the object the next day. But for some things, maybe doing it at home where one has more control over the product is more attractive or individual. How do our panelists see 3D printing evolve over the next twenty years, and does our experience with 2D printing have any relevance? How will this all affect jobs and society?
