The development of 3D printing enables the process of direct transfer of ideas (understood as digital vectors) into physical objects using only one universal device. Later these objects could be milled and the same material reused, allowing ideas for effective re-materialisation and de-materialisation done by individual consumers who become producers. New goods could be adjusted by consumers to their individual preferences as it was in the preindustrial craft era. A process of re-localisation of de-localised production from low paid labour countries to developed ones will be observed with spatial distribution. This new order could be named re-de economy. Expiration of key patents that protected 3D technologies between 2014 and 2016 will affect the spread of these new order consequences. The article also presents an analysis of 217 students' opinions collected in selected countries (Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, South Africa, Sweden and Ukraine) regarding their attitude to this technology.

Rozwój technologii druku 3D umożliwia proces bezpośredniej zamiany idei (rozumianych jako wektory cyfrowe) w obiekty fizyczne przy użyciu tylko jednego uniwersalnego urządzenia. Obiekty te mogą następnie zostać przetworzone za pomocą procesu mielenia i przyjąć nową formę przy wykorzystaniu tego samego materiału. Daje to możliwość re-materializacji i dematerializacji wykonywanej przez indywidualnych konsumentów, którzy stają się jednocześnie producentami. Nowe towary mogą być dostosowywane przez konsumentów do ich indywidualnych preferencji, tak jak to było w erze przedprzemysłowej. Ten nowy porządek można nazwać relokalizacją zdematerializowanej produkcji z krajów o niskich kosztach wytwarzania do państw wysokorozwiniętych. Wygaśnięcie kluczowych patentów chroniących technologie 3D w okresie od 2014 do 2016 r. wpłynie na rozprzestrzenianie się następstw nowego porządku. W artykule przedstawiono również analizę 217 opinii studentów w wybranych krajach (Węgry, Włochy, Litwa, Polska, RPA, Szwecja i Ukraina) dotyczących ich stosunku do technologii druku 3D.
