How is 3D Printing Posed to Benefit Society and What Implications does it Create?

Researching the socialogical impact of 3D printing was very challenging as it is fairly new topic being discussed. Using google along with google scholar, library@uncc.edu, and youtube, I was able to support my inquiry on how 3D printing is affecting society. I was able to find articles, ebooks, videos, pdf documents, reports, and examples on the culture and purpose behind 3D printing technology. Below are some of the sources I'm using to help build my inquiry.
