Abstract :
[en] This chapter seeks to describe a variety of contexts in which 3D printing technologies are expected to emerge over the next 15 years and exert their so-called disruptive potential. We first provide a brief introduction to 3D printing and we explain how it actually works. Then, we describe the paradigmatic change allowed by 3D printing in the industrial sector with a shift toward mass customisation. In particular, we focus on the biomedical sector, which is an interesting case in point because of the important number of innovations and the growth of 3D printed biomedical parts, a trend that is expected to continue in the future. To account for the dramatic, transversal, and transformative potential that 3D printing has in that whole sector, we first concentrate on 3D printing of biomedical instruments and implants for patients and, second, on additive bio- manufacturing of human tissues and organs. Then, we address the expectations raised by 3D printing to empowering users in non-industrial domains (such as in fabrication laboratories or with desktop 3D printers at home). In the last section, we turn to discussing the impact of 3D printing on the governance actors and we raise important issues for further research in the political economy of 3D printing technologies.
