If you haven't heard- 3-D printers are making everything from prosthetic hands to handguns. I think these will change the way our manufacturing and designing are done. Layers of plastic or metal are used to create anything your mind can think of (as long as it is in plastic or metal). Who knows? Maybe boat molds will be created from 3-D printers in the future. Watching the Jetsons growing up made me think about the future. It is becoming reality with technology and robotics. They have even made steak from a 3-D printer using proteins.
Check out the video of the first working metal handgun made from a 3-D commercial printer. Amazing!
