Currently, 3-D printing is limited by 3 things; materials, time, and understanding.  Presently the main material being used in 3-D printing is soft plastics, which aren't strong enough for industrial use.  The time it takes to produce a single, elaborate object, roughly the size of a golf ball is 9 hours, making too inefficient for any type of large-scale replication.  The other, less obvious determent is a clear understanding throughout most industries of just what the technology is and what its potentials are. The podcast goes on to look at those potentials by investigating current research into future applications such as using carbon fiber as the material used in 3-D printing, which would serve a wide variety of applications like the fabrication of replacement parts for industrial machinery, mass-production ...
