Had a lecture last month on graphene at Manchester uni when we went for an open day....it's the next big thing and will become a well known substance in the near future.
It was discovered by using sellotape to thin out graphite to its thinnest layer.

Can it be used in 3D printing machines? If so, this could completely change manufacturing.

I think so, the lecturer did mention 3d printing, but I can't recall what he said to be honest...some of the stuff he was talking about was quite deep.

A success story that will be hijacked by other countries and we don't have the finance to make it work.
