3d printers 5

[cranky108]

How will 3D printers change how we do our designs. And now with conductive plastics, there are fewer parts to assemble.

I saw a simular article on the Fox web site.

I hope it works better than the old coffe machines, you know coffie, sugar, cream, then comes the empty cup.

Another reason why I've NEVER had a cup of coffee in my life...

How soon before a 3D 'Printer' is paired-up with a 3D 'Scanner' resulting in a 3D 'Copier'?

Do 3D scanners work with clear or nearly clear objects?

I recently saw a coworker trying to fill his water bottle with ice, but the ice machine could not see that the IR beam was broken so it would not deliver ice.

Do the 3D copyiers make everything just a little bit smaller than the origonal to keep you from copying coins?

Highly relevant!

Gee neat, print yourself an army to place in your final resting place. Only out of plastic, and not tera cota.

There was an interesting link within your link about 3D printing using deposited metals to build up a build.

I still see this as a way to reduce parts inventory of plastic, and maybe metal, parts.
