The affordability and usage of 3D printers to the public are essential. 3D printing has evolved from massive printers that could only print specific materials, to the vast amount that is possible today. The prices were generally expensive at first and only large companies could acquire them, but now smaller versions for much less price have arisen. In an article entitled "Exploring the 3D Printing Opportunity” it supports this by explaining how 3D printers “open the floodgates to a vast range of applications, from customized automotive and aviation components to prosthetics and orthopedic implants [...] People living in remote areas could manufacture their own things" (Bird).
3D printing has become more affordable recently and it changes import and export dynamics because people will be able to build what they need at a fair cost. Some people in other parts of the world can live off their own with 3D printers at hand. Printers require the materials to make the products as well as the ability to use the machine as well.
