The industrial Internet

The Internet of Things has seen extraordinary growth over the past few years as a result of low-cost electronics and standard protocols. The price of connected devices has plummeted, which is why Cisco confidently states that 50 billion devices will come online by 2025!

Although the technology is fascinating in its own right, the value created by this technology is even more astounding. Consulting firm McKinsy & Co. estimates that the IoT “offers a potential economic impact of $4 trillion to $11 trillion a year in 2025.”

In today's fast-paced world, it has become increasingly difficult for technology companies to be the first to bring a new product to market. Global competition is fierce, and the rapid pace of technology change forces companies to continuously innovate, just to keep up.

While the concept of 3D printing certainly has the potential to revolutionize our everyday life, the technology is not ready for prime time.
