Solar Powered 3D Printer Gives Developing Communities Manufacturing Access

A major issue with 3D printing is that it is not as widely available around the world as it should be. While this may not seem like a pertinent issue, many developing communities and their businesses are losing out on the major benefits of modern technology, making them less competitive in the long run. So, […]
