This is so absolutely amazing that I just have to share it! A working crescent wrench made from a printer - unbelievable! You can read more about 3D printing at www.publicknowledge.org/files/docs/3DPrintingPaperPublicKnowledge.pdfEvery day, technology becomes more scarier and scarier, but give it a few years and this concept of printing will become the norm. I can't wait for this kind of technology to become readily available to the average citizen. |

My dad showed this to me yesterday. Then my mom saw it. Her eyes lit up and she yelled out: "STAR TREK!"

That is cool. @_@ The part where it can replicate the moving parts blows my mind.

I remember seeing an episode of CSI:NY that used the technology (or something similar) to replicate a bullet in order to solve a case. To hear that we can now create working tools is just amazing.

Holy narwhals.
My mind has been blown into thousands of pieces. I wonder if it could scan a drawing that was so good that it would print out an actual 3d model of what's in the drawing.
I'm kind of scared of it. o__o
They also have flying cars now, there will be one released next year, as I heard on the news.
THIS WORLD. SO ADVANCED.
