The advantage of 3D CAD is that it allows for easy modeling through education, enabling the design of one's own products rather than standardized mass-produced goods.
 

This suggests that the limitations of the manufacturing industry can be overcome as a market for DIY consumption culture. Just as the development of information and communication technology transformed media consumers into producers, 3D printing technology will enable consumers and producers to have equal status in the manufacturing sector and satisfy a diverse range of consumers.

 
The reporter also tried designing and making a product at the experience center.

The 3D CAD screen displays the top, 3D, right, and front views in a clockwise direction, and the design can be modified through the four-part screen whenever working.

 

1. Click Create Solid on the left screen, then select the center and the box. Click the point where the origin appears when you place the cursor on the top face. When the window for selecting width and height appears, enter the values, and finally, enter the extrusion value. Then, a rectangle that can be verified in a three-dimensional plane is generated.


2. To create a dome-shaped palace, click Create Solid. Select a sphere. This time, click the origin on the top surface and enter the radius value.

3. For the four corner pillars, you must attempt a circular arrangement after creating a single cylinder. First, click the cylinder in Solid Creation. This time, select one of the rectangular corners from the top face as the default point. After entering the radius value, move to the side and set the height to fit the rectangle, or enter the height value of the rectangle from the height value.

4. Click the 'Edit' tab next to '3D Modification' in the left pane. Then, select 'Circular Array' to open the object selection command window. Select the cylinder you just created and click it. Select the center of the top rectangle or sphere, click the object, and the adjustment options window appears on the left. If you enter 4 objects and a fill angle of 360 degrees, you can see that four cylinders arranged in a circle around a single object are automatically generated. In addition to this, you can design more three-dimensionally and precisely using many other functions, such as set difference and intersection.

The reason 3D printing-related designers were included among promising future professions is that patent rights have expired, opening up the possibility for anyone to use them. Just as the slogan "Now I'm a chef too," which swept ramen commercials a few years ago, has now become a reality through cooking shows and celebrity chefs, the phrase "Now I'm a designer too!" might be on people's lips.

According to various studies, including Gartner, the 3D printing market is predicted to grow by 17–32% in the future. There is high anticipation that 3D printing will drive the third industrial revolution as an innovation in manufacturing. However, Kim Seong-bok, a manager at Hephzibah Co., Ltd., who conducted a 3D printing seminar, stated, “Contrary to people’s expectations, 3D printing is not utilized unconditionally. The cost of 3D printing materials and productivity must be thoroughly considered. Furthermore, although it is currently underway, the development of technology and equipment to overcome the limitations of additive manufacturing is required first.”
