danielost Posted August 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2014 http://3dprintingindustry.com/ This is the first steps to the star trek replicators. Although they could replicate a fully functioning gun and at the moment we can only do the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Wellington Posted August 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The actual benefit from this technology is medical, we hope to print body replacement parts one day. LINK - 3D printed organs come a step closer Imagine a computer chip which prints its own circuits. No more need for upgrades as the chip can patch itself. Infact computer programs could print the exact chips they want to allow them to perform at their most efficient. WIth no employees involved a car production no longer needs to be outsourced to China. The car can be printed here. Military equipment like tanks and aircraft could print repair themselves. The end to the worlds food crises could come if we simply go on the internet, select the food we want, print and voila! Its tea time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielost Posted August 28, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Sounds easy. But the medium has to come from somewhere. With current tech you could print the parts of a car but someone still has to put it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
