In order to continue this positive trend and remain competitive, the Philippines has to remain steadfast and welcoming of technological changes that would drive the economy for Industry 4.0. Among these disruptive technological advancements is 3D printing. At present, the local 3D printing industry is limited due to the barriers of adoption such as: (1) high cost, (2) limited build size, (3) lack of skilled workforce, (4) lack of regulations, and (5) potential security risks. Nevertheless, 3D printing technology offers many advantages particularly: (1) freedom of design leading to mass customization, (2) speed and adaptability, and (3) sustainability which are key drivers for the adoption of the technology.
