由于廉价设备以及驱动这些设备的开源软件的激增，三维打印最近获得了相当大的兴趣。公众的兴趣往往伴随着媒体的报道，这些报道往往是耸人听闻的技术。根据流行的文章，公众可能会产生3D打印是圣杯的印象;我们将把所有东西都打印成一件，传统制造业正处于崩溃的边缘，而奇异的应用，如通过3D生物打印克隆人体，即将到来。本文的目的是通过确定十个挑战来描绘一幅更现实的画面，这些挑战清楚地说明了这项技术的局限性，这使得它与之前被吹捧为下一个游戏规则改变者的任何其他技术一样脆弱。
Three dimensional printing has gained considerable interest lately due to the proliferation of inexpensive devices as well as open source software that drive those devices. Public interest is often followed by media coverage that tends to sensationalize technology. Based on popular articles, the public may create the impression that 3D printing is the Holy Grail; we are going to print everything as one piece, traditional manufacturing is at the brink of collapse, and exotic applications, such as cloning a human body by 3D bio-printing, are just around the corner. The purpose of this paper is to paint a more realistic picture by identifying ten challenges that clearly illustrate the limitations of this technology, which makes it just as vulnerable as anything else that had been touted before as the next game changer.
