Women increasingly join 3D printing industry as companies adapt to new demand

The 3D printing industry is seeing a significant increase in female participation, particularly at events like 3DPrintopia. Companies are responding by developing more user-friendly, plug-and-play printers that appeal to a broader audience, including women and children. Entry-level 3D printing has grown by 64% year-on-year, driven by brands like Bambu Lab, which offers easy-to-use machines. This shift is changing the focus from technical tinkering to creating finished products, making 3D printing more accessible. Manufacturers are also expanding their color offerings to attract diverse users. As more women engage in 3D printing, the community is evolving, with a growing number of female creators and designers contributing to the field.
