Thermal Expansion- currently, materials expanding/contracting while & after printing can be a serious problem for precision prints. If thermal expansions weren't so much of an issue, precision prints would be better and easier.

Examples of solutions include

  1. Improving materials so they do not expand/contract as much while printing
  2. Improving software so it better accounts for expansion/contraction while designing prints, so WYSIWYG can apply to 3D printers
  3. Improving hardware so it will automatically account for expansion. Probably not as good as improving software.
