We can print gunsnow in our homes, but are there any Sega fans willing to bring down the prices of Konami's Justifiers? ;) Those things are just too expensive on eBay!


Check out these blood vessels being printed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... VHFlwJQIkE

Fascinating, no?

With being able to do things like "print" blood vessels, how long do you think it will be until you can print food in general? We are really close to a Food-a-Rac-a-Cycle. :D

Not until the power requirements /material costs will be low enough to justify the use of 3d printers / futuristic material assembler pods.

I'm game once we can print our own ICs at home from schematics or dieshots.

Really, I just want to print Transformers toys.

I have simple needs.

Yes, well. Be careful what you wish for. The perfect figure of my favorite Transformer, turned out to be $400.
