摘要：

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide a personalised view by the Editors of the Rapid Prototyping Journal. Design/methodology/approach - It collects their years of experience in a series of observations and experiences that can be considered as a snapshot of where this technology is today. Findings - Development of these technologies has progressed according to application, materials and how the designers have applied their creativity to such a unique manufacturing tool. Originality/value - The paper predicts how the future of additive manufacturing will look from the perspective of three key elements: applications, materials and design.
