3D printing is the ultimate challenge to the elites. Once again the middle class merchant has a chance. Must crush him quickly.

Does anyone know what material they used to make that small human liver? I’m lost on that one.

Eventually, even governments will be threatened by the 3D printing revolution. In a world of endless choice, who will put up with one size fits all public services and flawed, bureaucratic decision making?

They have just been cut out of the loop, and know it.

More over-hype from non-technical writers about the technology which has great potential, and limitations.

Yet the news that the first workable gun has been produced with a 3D printer will have reawakened the inner Luddite in many Britons....

And the inner William Wallace in others. Or is that thought to horrible for you to contemplate? Make your widdle panties all 'tinky?

The net, fracking, and now 3D printing have foiled the elites attempt to control humanity....for now. We have been lucky.

3D printing is currently at a very crude scale.

Nano-tech will eventually allow 3D printers to operate at a molecular level. When the tech allows manipulation at the nano scale the items created will be the highest quality ever achieved.

3D printers will morph into desktop assemblers able to make drugs, guns, food, biological tissue, extremely complex electronic devices and things we can’t even imagine yet. They will of course be able to create copies of themselves... so a single desktop assembler could spawn a world filling supply of assemblers.

Liberals/progressives/socialists/communists will all be against this technology since it liberates ordinary people (the unwashed masses) from any dependence on central government.

The Obama Admin will try to ban 3D Printing and the rest of the World will advance

I kinda wish they wouldn’t call it printing, because it isn’t really. It’s building.
It’s going to (heck, probably already is beginning) to be a major time and money saver in product development leading up to mold making. molds are really expensive and to be able to pre-produce and test parts, short run parts, etc, is invaluable.

Will a shortage of 3D printers begin in a matter hours????
