UBS On The Importance Of 3D Printing

By Tyler Durden

Created 10/31/2013 - 20:22

Over a year ago we discussed the "next Industrial Revolution" [1] and where it might appear from. 3D printers were envisioned among Goldman's top disruptive themes [2] earlier this year and as UBS notes, 3D printing – or additive manufacturing – has been catching investors' imaginations in recent months. Some commentators have suggested the technology has the potential to literally transform the world economy and dismantle global supply chains; while UBS points out that, others have suggested the technology is hyped and has little promise beyond a few niche product areas in manufacturing. The truth, Andrew Cates believes, probably lies somewhere in between but he is nevertheless more sympathetic to those who champion the technology's disruptive – even revolutionary - qualities.
