It should be encouraged to create a layering of different printing technologies to combine ideas and advance them at an ever increasing pace. (maybe for now you can still print the circuit boards separately and build them inside your 3d prints/objects, but eventually if you can build them right in that could add some more amazing things.... "like the baking bread already sliced concept"). I know my 3d printer has the ability now to stop printing half way through a design...then start up again easily where it left off.... so you could print a hollow sphere and then put electronics inside, then finish the 3d printing to seal it inside and create items otherwise more difficult to do. Wondering what lattice or woven type patters may someday be required for circuit board or electronics design that would benefit from combining all these new advancements. ….it will be interesting to see how/when that 3d printers can print electronics into their designs.
