[Legacy Report] 3D Printing: Social and Cultural Trajectories
#3D
#Printing
#SSIT
In recent years, inexpensive 3D printers have allowed users to fabricate items that would otherwise be conventionally produced in specialised, remote factories. With this capability comes a range of questions for social and cultural analysis: How are people using 3D printing technology? What legal and policy frameworks shape its development? How are its capabilities differently imagined by consumers, regulators, experts and enthusiasts? What kinds of markets and practitioner communities are forming around the technology? The symposium aims to open up an exploratory conversation around these and other issues, connecting researchers from across the humanities and social sciences.
