Khoury1 Abstract Three Dimensional (3D) Printing, or what is also referred to as Additive Manufacturing, is a process of making three- dimensional solid objects from (generally) a digital file. In addition to its amazing potential, what is outstanding about this technology is that it will be accessible to most in the near future. This accessibility pertains to the machines and materials that are used for printing as well as to the ability to create such objects and to share object files digitally. It has the hallmarks of a new industrial revolution; which I refer to here as the Individualized-Industrial Revolution (i.e. the I.I. Revolution). As such, the conventional intellectual property system will soon come face to face with the great challenge that is posed by this new field. This paper explains why this challenge to intellectual property is three dimensional: the technological-industrial; the com- mercial-social; and the legal-regulative. In this research paper, that is part of a larger research project, I identify these challenges and pro- pose conceptual approaches to dealing with them. 1Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Law, Tel Aviv University.
