Awesome TED talk about it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhYvDS…

Not sure if I mentioned this in any of my previous blogs, but 3D printing is easily the most exciting technology that I'm looking forward to.
Forget tablets and smartphones, within our lifetimes we'll be able to pirate the blueprints and print them off ourselves.

Electronics will be worth no more than the resources that go into them, which isn't very much.
Anyone will be able to design and print their own hardware, and you won't need a whole factory to do so.

Wonder what kind of copyright laws they'll be trying to introduce then. :P

Even in the short-term, I could probably grab one of these printers in a few years and make some EBF figures.
Instead of people exchanging papercraft designs, we could be exchanging designs for actual figures we could print out.

Imagine being able to print any Lego piece you wanted?! Or printing off stuff you made in Minecraft?!

And then there's all those other useful applications mentioned in that first video.

Science owns.

Here's some more videos:

The high school I went to had a 3D printing machine very similar to the one in the video. It could even print the 3D objects in color! :D We had it on "borrow" from a local company that made the printer. (Z Corperation) We got to print out characters and objects we made. It was REALLY sick.


Here are a couple of the objects we made: [link] and [link]
