It has gone from a relatively sleepy industrial prototyping process to one that offers the potential to completely revolutionize how the world makes just about everything. While the merits of this manufacturing potential can certainly be debated, the stocks that are focused in the space – for the most part – have absolutely exploded in the past year.
