The analyst expects 3D printers to have the biggest impact on consumer products, industrial and manufacturing, and a “medium impact” on construction, education, energy, government, medical products, military, retail, telecommunications, transportation and utilities and low impact on industries like i banking and financial services and insurance.

 Most businesses have started to comprehend 3DP in its best and cost effective means, from prototyping and product development to fixtures and moulds that are used to manufacture or assemble an item to drive finished goods, says Basiliere.Gartner reckons that the early users of 3D printers will remain as makers and hobbyists and contribute to the development of a 3D printing ‘killer app’l ike some form of “plug and play” tool that will be key to drive consumer sales in future.  ”We expect that a compelling consumer application — something that can only be created at home on a 3D printer — will hit the scene by 2016,” Basiliere added.
