Yesterday, Microsoft debut its first 3D printing apps for Windows system. 3D printing seems like a new technology for everyone. From my analysis, 3D printer is the start of a new industrial revolution.  The industrial revolution improved our transportation system and the way that we manufacture our product. In the future, we will no longer need to shop in the mall, build item in the factories. The material that we need is a 3D printing apps,3D printer and printing materials.

As the start of 2013, President Obama shows up his support on 3D printing. Right now,the 3D printer is infancy because people need to pay a high cost on buying the printer. With the support with Federal government, the U.S 3D printer company MakerBot announced its idea on putting 3D printer in every school in America. This will allow the student getting the skills that they need for tomorrow’s engineer or designer. It is still in the early stage of this revolution,however, the 3D printing has already translated into a real-world project for out next generations. For information technology workers, it will create job opportunities because it require high skills on using the program. The reality is no one can guarantee 3D printer will bring third industrial revolution but it means a shift of thinking to us, it encourage us to have creative thinking and devote for the global economy.
