Additive Manufacturing or 3D Printing as it is more commonly known is a rapidly-developing emerging technology. Whilst this emerging technology has lent itself to research involving engineering, industrial and even economic issues, the implications for Intellectual Property (IP) remain largely unexplored.

Dinusha also hosted an event on this topic at Bournemouth University’s Festival of Learning in June 1014.
