How 3D Printing Could Provide a Huge Boost to the Digital Design Industry


So, What Does this Mean for the Digital Design Industry? Well, a lot actually. Everything that is made on a 3D printer has to be designed as a digital 3D model. These digital models are designed on computers using specialist software called Computer Aided Design (CAD) software. In simplest terms; the more 3D printers are used, the more 3D designs needed. As mentioned above; it is only in the last 18 months that 3D printing has gained momentum and the attention of the public, leading to a lot of coverage in the media. This has already triggered an increase in work for digital designers and those who use CAD software. A lot of models are highly complex and detailed, and the only people who can create them digitally are highly trained specialists. But the potential of 3D printing for the design industry doesn’t necessarily stop there.
