Topic: 3D Pringting may influence our cunsumption behavior?!

The reputation of 3D printing technology has spread like wildfire. It could be a technology that change the world in the future. It could be a technology that change the world in the future.
However, even though a popular 3D printing technology could contribute a lot to our society, it may have some negative impacts. This questionnaire is part of a research study to understand views about 3D printing. Your responses are important in enabling us to obtain as full an understanding as possible of this issue.
Can you spare a few moments to take my survey?

Please take the survey titled "A survey of attitude towards popularized 3D printing technology.". Your feedback is important!
Thank you for your participation! ^ _ ^

I think it would help improve your participation rate if you said a little more about who is conducting the research, what it is for, and where people can later find the results of your study.

Think you for your advise! It is a postgraduate study in Environmental Strategy Center. This is about analysing the possible rebound effect due to widely application of 3D printing in the future in terms of over consumption. Maybe in a month can I have the result of my stusy-- it depends on how fast I get enough responses.

Hopely you guys can help me with this. Many thanks~ ^^

I'm not sure what the purpose of this survey is (consumption of what? PLA bioplastic?). But you should maybe consider a spell check when your posting on a web forum as a post-graduate student.

Unless of course you are a non-native speaker, then its excusable... to an extent smile

I can't see the interrest of this action !

Also I took an eye of the questions(it's really simple to give an answer  like this : AAAA, the server does not try to recognize if you type a word or only letters, how can you be sure that the answers are real (people can lie).

Thank you for your advise！ I will try to improve my english level！ The purpose of this survey is to analysis possible rebound effect due to over consumption encouraged by possible future scenario in which 3D printing is widely adopted.

I would be appreciated if you could help me spread this survey so that more people could see it and take part in！

Well, the survey is trying to collect some data as much as possible in order to be meaningful to an extent. Descriptive responses will be analysed by human, not machine. And also it is a voluntary survey, so no one can guarantee whether the response is true from someone （but obviously, AAAA is not an useful answer that we would adopt.) Thank you for your reply~
