What is the Gartner Hype Cycle? 3D Printing Predictions
Gartner Hype Cycle 2019: 3D Printing Predictions
First, it is important to explain the Gartner curve, also referred to as the Gartner Hype Cycle. We can see that the first phase of the Gartner Hype Cycle is a phase of growing enthusiasm and rising expectations for the technology in question. Indeed, users of the technology are confident it will open new opportunities and has a lot to offer. Once these expectations reach a peak, consumers realise that the technology will be harder than expected to implement. Therefore, their enthusiasm for it starts to plummet. Finally, the curve will reach its second wave of growth. As investments and developments are made expectations start to rise more gradually once again until reaching a plateau.
