This leaves an opportunity for us at 3Dnatives to revisit the evolution of technology and its future trends.\u00a0We have prepared a video to illustrate the rapid growth of 3D printing. The industries revenues are estimated to be at 32.7 billion dollars by 2023. In comparison it was at 2.5 billion in 2013!
