There is a growing consensus that 3D printing technologies will be the next major technological revolution. While a lot of work has already been carried out as to what these technologies will bring in terms of product and process innovation, little has been done on their impact on business model innovation. 3D printing technologies have the potential to change the way business model innovation is done, by enabling adaptive business models and by bringing the ‘rapid prototyping’ paradigm to business model innovation itself.

The first stage of 3D printing involves creating a digital model of the object to be printed. This is usually done with generic 3D modelling software (some of which are available for free) or using dedicated software provided by 3D printing services (e.g. Thingiverse, Shapeways or Sculpteo)
Websites such as these will create a huge impact and will be more influential when 3d printer will be easily accessible and common to all as people who want an objec can easily think about it,create it and then print it for his/her use.
