Cost

 

With the emergence of any new technology, associated cost are always high, as expected. As it is the case with the 3D technology, the cost involved for the time being is high, due to the lack of infrastructure and the reluctance of manufacturers to change to new technologies for reasons associated with risk factors. Moreover, such cost is a function of the device complexity and the specified requirements.
