Graphene 3D Lab COO Dr. Elena Polyakova Talks About the Future of 3D Printing

Graphene 3D Lab (TSXV:GGG,OTCQB:GPHBF) Chief Operating Officer Dr. Elena Polyakova published an article on R&D Magazine, about 3D printing, innovation and future materials.

In the article, Dr. Polyakova shares:

The way forward to overcome these problems is two-fold. The first is to incorporate advanced materials into thermoplastics used in 3D printing, allowing for functional 3D printing materials. The second is to develop a user-friendly 3D-printing ecosystem which makes the technology more accessible to non-engineers.

Moreover, for 3D printing to be used in commercial applications, the speed at which prints are completed must be improved upon, as well as the quality of prints themselves. For example, 3D prints currently have a sub-optimal quality to them when compared to products on store shelves. However, since many products are made solely out of plastic, if these two problems were solved, we would probably see its widespread use for producing both custom and generic objects. The applications of 3D printing can be further expanded with an improvement in available 3D-printing materials. A combination of functional materials with plastics within 3D prints would allow for the printing of operational devices.
