3D Printing: Rocking Manufacturing


Headquartered in New York, Finnegan IP works with leading corporations and innovators to protect, advocate, and leverage their most important intellectual property assets and specializes in patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret law, including counseling, prosecution, licensing, and litigation.

3D printers are the most powerful machines ever invented because they can make finished products with all their parts fully assembled. Driven by a digital blueprint, they build layer upon layer of fused plastic, metal, or other materials. Big companies like Airbus, Boeing, GE, Johnson Controls are using 3D printing to revolutionize manufacturing. 3D printing does two seemingly inconsistent things at the same time: it simplifies and streamlines manufacturing while enabling the flexible manufacture of fully assembled, infinitely customizable products, without barriers to complexity, and reduces the economy of scale to a batch of one.

3D Printing Beats Traditional Manufacturing

Traditional manufacturing depends on mass production and its economies of scale, and low labor costs, which are barriers to entry for would-be competitors. Because 3D printing may eliminate the need for centralized mass production where labor costs are low, tens of thousands of 3D printing fabricators will pop up all over the world, making customized parts and products regionally.
