More mature techniques and technologies means 3D Printing is ready to shift from a specialised hobbyist past-time, to a mainstream manufacturing go-to. Increased accessibility and reliability, contributes to new 3D Printing methods, challenging older techniques with greater results.

**Key Drivers of 3D Printing's new popularity with businesses**

- A lower barrier-to-entry in-terms of price of Printers and consumables
- Wider Range of Print Material (filaments or resins) to print in
- Much faster print speeds with higher accuracy on latest generation of printers

The [AM.CO.ZA](http://am.co.za) Team has spent some time cultivating the PrintUP Larger format 3D Printer range and formed new partnerships in order to add a substantial [3D Printing section to its Buythis.co.za](https://buythis.co.za/3d-printers#ai) store.

One of these new partnerships is with internationally renowned 3D printer manufacturer, **CREALITY**, for the distribution and support of its range of 3D printers in the South African market. We are looking forward to sharing more on this shortly.

With these strong partnerships; our expanding 3D Printing products; services and training, we believe **2022 Will be the Year for Additive Manufacturing.**
