Conventionally manufactured products too often force the consumer to compromise. A pair of shoes may be slightly too small for the wearer’s feet; a table slightly too large for the space; the color of a lamp not quite the right match for the rest of the decor. Tooling holds these products back, forcing them into designated boxes and compelling the consumer to choose from options that often don’t quite work. 3D printing makes possible new and different consumer goods, but also changes the buyer's relationship to those goods. More in this video, part of our series on 3D Printing and the Circular Economy.
