3D printing is a star at 2014 CES. As 3-D Systems' Avi Reichental said, "3-D printing is an overnight success 30 years in the making." Five years ago, MakerBot was the only 3-D printing company at CES. This year, 3D printing has its own tech zone. There are 28 3D printing exhibitors at the show, up from just eight in 2013.
Below are interviews of a few notable players and hightlights at the CES 2014. First of all, check out a cool video made by Erica Griffin about 3D Printing awesomeness.
