More demands can be earned by producing them with small volume, large variety, and short delivery period.
n Creative users may widen the world of 3-D printers and develop new application and utilization method.

Full-colored "ZPrinters" may be accepted in construction industry that requires visual effects.
For medical/welfare use, it is likely that application may develop as far as pharmaceutical industry and regenerative medicines.
Sales methods, maintenance techniques, and structure of products should be considered for 3-D printers to be adopted for educational use.
n 3-D printers may widely be adopted by their product type, which may develop into multiple areas. If so, products with high functions may reduce price and entry-level machines may come to be equipped with high precision.
n Various types of engineering plastics/super engineering plastics are available for the layering materials.
Diverse materials such as resin, sand, metal powder can be freely chosen to express powder, depending on the intended use.
