Introduction of Disruptive Technology

         The disruptive technology refers to the introduction of the technology that develops a quite new market and introduce new value network. Disruptive technology is usually based on the disruptive innovation in the products and industry. In accordance to the research the disruptive technology changes the fortune of the existing market by creating a new market of technology. To elaborate the concept of disruptive technology we can say that the disruptive technology is the introduction of the quite new idea that comes in the market and suddenly displace an existing technology in the market (Cox, 2016). The 3D printer in also considered as the disruptive technology in the world that has potential to displace the old market.

Examples of disruptive technology

There are several examples of the disruptive technology. A few of these examples are mentioned below in the list:

Telephony in communication

Pocket calculators in computing hardware

Personal computer in computing hardware

Floppy disk in data storage 

LED in display

3D Printing as Disruptive Technology

            The 3D printing is a disruptive technology as the introduction of the 3D printing completely changed the market of the many other technologies in the various field of the life. The 3D printing technology was introduced in 1984 by the Charles Hull. In the beginning it was not as refined and efficient as it is in the present age. However at the time of introduction it was based on the complex process of changing the digital data in the 3 dimensional objects.

            3D technology is now in use in the fields of medical, engineering and the aerospace. Through the 3D printing technology now designing and developing process of the products is totally changed. In the broader term 3D printing technology is also known as the “Additive Manufacture”. By using the 3D printing any object, a house, car, equipment or any object can be created in the 3D form. By the introduction of the 3D technology now the world of manufacturing is able to develop a prototype before the introduction of the new product in the market.       

        The 3D printing is a disruptive technology that also covers the qualities of the sustaining technology as it is a cost effective and quickly working technology that can deliver a complete output/ product in the short time duration. The time standing and cost effectiveness quality are also encouraging the users to take advantages in the business and medical field by developing objects through the use of 3D printing to get clear idea about the weakness and strengths of the product in advance. for instance by using the 3D printing in the automobile industry the designer can understand how the product will look in real and what type of changes in the design can make the car more attractive for the customer (Cox, 2016).     

Example of Disruptive Technology:

             The 3D printing is disruptive technology as it enable the medical field to introduce a functional kidney or other functional organs for the human being. Before this there was no other technology working for making an artificial kidney. The functional kidney was introduced in 2002 by the wake forest institute (Pitt.edu, 2018).

                 The 3D printing is the disruptive technology as before the introduction of the 3D printing there was no idea to create a digital object in the 3 dimensions. 3D printing also supported the idea of world first 3D printed robotic aircraft. Because of the 3D printing Kor Ecologic created the first printed car in 2012. The 3D printing supported the prosthetic Jaw, DIY co-creation service and the printing in the gold and silver.   

Conclusion of Disruptive Technology 

            The 3D printing is a disruptive technology has it created a new market and displace the old markets. The 3D printing not only provide high quality and cost effective services but also enable the medical scientists, engineers and businessman to bring innovation in their filed. Through the use of 3D printing now 3 dimensional objects like aircraft, cars, houses and human organs can be created that functions just similar to the original object. Thus we can say that 3D technology is the best disruptive technology that changed the way of life and influenced the world in the positive way.
