This paper address how additive manufacturing will revolutionize production and manufacturing industries, and ultimately determine the scope of what is possible to create. Due to its versatility, additive manufacturing will allow more efficient and cost-effective means of production, prototyping, and innovation. Additive manufacturing can create new parts and devices opening up new channels of change in emerging industries, such as microfluidics, medical, and dental. This evolution is equally as critical to private and public entities who desire a competitive edge over the manufacturing market, on both a national and global scale.
