The Geta shoe is an example of how we can draw inspiration from the past to shape our future. We're just a few years away from witnessing groundbreaking advancements in home 3D printing technology. The primary obstacle holding us back, as I see it, lies in the ability for end-users to design functional items using software. By studying simple designs from the past, we can capitalize on this emerging technology and create innovative products that are both unique and practical. It's crystal clear that 3D printing at home will evolve from a toy-making hobby into a vital field, empowering people to produce everyday items with ease. Formlabs is launching an SLS printer that enables users to print heavy-duty, high-quality nylon parts right in their own homes. As home designers and enthusiasts, we can leverage the past's simplicity to unlock this technology.
