The 3D: Printing the Future exhibiton features more than 500 3D printed items from miniature football stadiums like Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium, to the world's first bike with a fully 3D printed metal frame, in celebration of the potential of this 3D printing is becoming an increasingly versatile and cost effective way of manufacturing goods for businesses of all sizes. Today, anything from bikes to human ears can be printed and the limits to what is achievable is rapidly expanding.
