The Future
Summary
The Higher Education Funding Council in England (HEFCE), in recognition of the need for more funding to support key subjects in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), undertook a boost of funding to schools, but for many companies and industries that need to ensure robust ideas and support a new entrepreneurial generation and environment. This chapter explores the anxiety status of an overproduction culture and the demands that are made in keeping pace with technology. Customers are increasingly calling for personalised products in small batches and the print industry has to meet these demands. The primary emerging themes for the future could be considered as: circular economy and sustainable manufacturing, worldwide print connectivity, mass-printing for one and security printing and tracking. For the future of 2.5dimensional (2.5D) printing, one of the primary trends is security printing and tracking.
