The video sponsored by additive manufacturing company BIQU features the 2017 BIQU MAGICIAN 3D Printer New Generation Mini Kossel [Delta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-building) 3 D Printing Machine and a setup that makes it possible to cart around the tabletop system on one's back. In the making of the wearable 3D printer, Wu also used a set of custom-designed [3D-printed clamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-concept). To show how well the system holds together, Wu took her creation to the streets and even sported the 3D printer backpack on the subway. As she walks around, there is a pink object that can be seen slowly coming to live in the mobile 3D printer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wearable 3D Printers:** Opportunity for companies to explore the development of wearable 3D printers and accessories for on-the-go printing. - **Mobile 3D Printing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses to develop mobile 3D printers for use in a variety of settings such as tradeshows or remote locations. - **Custom 3d-printed Clamps:** Companies can explore creating custom 3D-printed clamps for various industries and uses, such as attaching equipment to backpacks or belts. ### Who This Affects Most - **Additive Manufacturing:** Additive manufacturing companies can create and market wearable 3D printers and other mobile printing solutions. - **Fashion:** Fashion industry businesses can explore creating 3D-printed clothing or accessories using mobile 3D printers. - **Outdoor Industry:** Opportunity for outdoor equipment companies to develop custom 3D-printed clamps for attaching gear to backpacks or belts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Backpack Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unltd-series.md) - [Beginner-Friendly 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xmaker-smart-3d-printer.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photon-nex.md) - [Personal Manufacturing 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambu-lab-h2d.md) - [Kid-Friendly 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidoodle-minibox-a1.md) - [Warehouse Worker-Focused Efficiency Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-printer-waist-belt.md) - [Industrial-Grade 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lcd-3d-printer.md) - [Large-Format 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambu-lab-h2s.md) - [Backpack-Mounted Desktop Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eblaztr.md)
