3D Printing

The big one. 3D Printing.

This is a subject that could literally be talked about for hours upon hours. It's good and it's bad at the same time. It's complex but simple as well.

3D printing is our future it seems. At a pace that is almost incomprehensible, 3D printers have been made small enough to simply fit into the space of an office and now pretty much anyone with a few hundred bucks lying around can just go get one from Best Buy. 3D pritning is something that allows the imagination to run completely free and allows the creations of our mind to find a tangible form in our hands. Beyond being able to make a tiny version of the David sculpture for your table top game, it also allows a variety of useful functions such as making copies of lost tools on the ISS.

Need a new wrench because yours fell into orbit and burned up? Just print a new one!
