La propriété intellectuelle à l'épreuve de l'impression 3D. Par Augustin Deschamps, Juriste. En effet, même si cette technologie existe depuis de nombreuses années, elle ne devient accessible aux particuliers que depuis peu.
La technique industrielle du dépôt de filament fondu qui permet l’impression d’objets en plastique a été brevetée dès les années 1980. Ce n’est qu’en 2009, après le passage de ce brevet dans le domaine public, que des centaines de start-up se sont emparées de cette technologie pour en exploiter le potentiel. Il est désormais possible d’acquérir sa propre imprimante 3D pour quelques centaines d’euros, et les distributeurs traditionnels de produits électroniques et d’électroménager ne tarderont pas à proposer ces machines directement en magasin.
Le leadership mondial de la fabrication d’imprimante est assumé par Stratasys, qui propose déjà une gamme destinée aux consommateurs. L’impression 3D est donc en passe de devenir personnelle : il est aujourd’hui possible d’imaginer, dessiner, modéliser puis fabriquer un objet quelconque.
