I know this wasn’t your point, but I’m a 3D printing enthusiast and I follow what’s going on in the industry. I wouldn’t consider 3D printing played out, but I would say that it’s become more boring in the last few years. This is a good thing because it means that it’s being sustained by real work (e.g. medical, prototyping, micro-manufacturing) rather than hype. I do agree that there was a hype phase, though, and the AI hype phase will probably be similar if not bigger.
