even though 3D printing in its current state will not replace mass manufacturing yet, noted Brendan Goh, co-founder of Pirate3D, a local startup which in 2013 raised US$1.4 million - way above its US$100,000 goal - on the Kickstarter funding platform for its self-made 3D printer. "Only when 3D printing can achieve high speeds and a good quality of finished products will it really make a huge dent in traditional manufacturing," Mr Goh said. "Nonetheless, it's great because the first step for the industry would be to begin with a service model until 3D printers become a lot more affordable such that the high-end ones become attainable for SMEs and individuals."
