Storyline 3D printers from China's Shenzhen find multi-layered success Demand for 3D printers made in southern China's Shenzhen is stacking up, both in China and abroad. At a 3D printing experience store in the city, customers can leave with an item of their own. They pick the color and material of their liking and wait for anywhere between two and five hours for their item to be printed. Elementary school student: "I want to print a dragon. It's pretty fun." Tourist: "It's quite novel." Liu Chang, Employee, 3D printing experience store: "Although the tool head is working, we may not be able to distinguish it with the naked eye, because the height of each layer is about 0.2 millimeters." Shenzhen Customs data shows that from January to July this year, the export value of Shenzhen's 3D printers was 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of roughly 125 percent. The products were sold to more than 120 countries and regions around the world. [Restrictions: No access Chinese mainland]
