Show Notes

This week we will be discussing the incredible trajectory that 3D printing is on and how can we use it to completely change the way manufacturing, supply chains and distribution is done.

How can we educate our kids to embrace this technology and especially in South Africa and how can we instil a culture of hacking and making cool products?

The global 3D printing market size is estimated to reach USD 34.8 billion by 2024.
