3D printing is cool, but how can you profit from it?

Notes from Chris

Episode 2440
Up next, we have a question from Tim, an engineer from New York City. He’s eyeing the growing field of 3D printing, and he's considering taking the plunge to turn this fascination into a bona fide side hustle.

His background in engineering will undoubtedly serve him well in this endeavor, but he's seeking a bit more guidance on how to ensure this venture is indeed viable. So, without further ado, let's delve into Tim's question and explore the world of 3D printing businesses. As always, we’ll try to apply it to more than just this specific idea.

"Hello! This is Tim calling from New York. I've been a fan of the show for a while now and I'm finally taking the plunge to start my own side hustle. As an engineer, I've been toying with the idea of starting a 3D printing business for a while now. But before I fully invest my time and resources into this idea, I want to make sure it's a viable one.

I know there are a lot of factors that go into determining the viability of a business, so I was hoping you could help me understand what I should be looking at and what questions I should be asking to make sure this is worth pursuing. Thank you so much!"
