Ohio Northern University faculty member Erica Neely published an article, “The Risks of Revolution: Ethical Dilemmas in 3-D Printing from a U.S. Perspective,” in the October 2016 edition of Science and Engineering Ethics.
“The paper focuses on two ethical issues in relation to 3-D printing: ensuring the safety of manufactured items and adapting our understanding of intellectual property. Both of these are complicated by a move to printing things at home rather than buying them from a traditional manufacturer,” said Neely, associate professor of philosophy.
