CouesWhitetail Report post Posted October 3, 2012 Holy smokes, I had no idea about this, but this morning I saw an article about a company wanting to 3d print guns and the issue of not having a gun manufacturing license....I thought come on, who needs a license to "print" a gun....well, apparently 3D printing isn't printing in a conventional sense, it's really manufacturing using the concept of an inkjet printer. Wow, this stuff is cool. You can print almost anything....tools, parts, and much more (like that motorcycle shown below!). This will cut costs dramatically to companies trying to create new objects. They are even talking about "printing" drugs so that you might some day have a printer at home that you just buy the "ink" that contains the drug and you "print" it at home. some videos: http://www.bbc.co.uk...otland-17744314 [media=] [/media] [media=] [/media] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nohoch Report post Posted October 3, 2012 Yep, it's pretty amazing. I work the construction industry managing 3D design and construction and we've seen these type of printers and they can be used to mock up full size products....it's pretty awesome the things you can do with technology. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
