    can't open it.

    But 3d printers are no longer theoritical, and moving into the realms of commercial manufacturing.

    type in 3d printer to google and click on the one with the guy in the blue shirt (second video). He "printed" a tool that is useable. wtf. I can't begin to comprehend how this works.

    it's easier at first to think of a normal printer, printing over and over on the same piece of paper. a 2d printer only has the ability of printing width and length. but if you keep printing on the same piece of paper, orver and over, with many many layers of ink, you will also add "heigth", hence... 3D!

    now, what we see happening in the near future, is using, instead of ink, using "biological cells" and printing simple organs at first, cloned from the host, and ready for transplant.... no rejection, and no immune suppressing meds!

    We have one of those at our work, it's kinda cool, they leave it running over the weekend because it takes that long to produce a part. I might hijack it one weekend and make something cool.

    They would probably sell a lot more of these if they had a big busted woman on the front of the box with the caption saying now available in Triple D
