For my paper, I focus on the environmental and economical aspects of three dimensional printers. I acknowledge the potential risks of increased plastic use due to its inability to degrade; however, this is heavily outweighed by the economic progress the 3D printer has enabled, for example, through ease of production, reduced need for human labor, and the progress in the medical field.
Thesis: Although the three dimensional printer may have a slight negative environmental impact, it is not great enough to outweigh the economic benefit, therefore leading me to consider the technology to have had an ultimately positive affect on the society it was introduced into.
