One has to take this "3d printing revolution" with a grain of salt at this point. The media hype has brought about some disillusion about what can and can't be done with this technology. Nobody has "printed" a human ear. Some researchers used a 3d printer as one tool in making a mold in which they injected a cell-containing gel.
Yes, the cost of the hobby level printer has come down. But there are still other factors to consider such as the knowledge and ability to design and draft quality parts and the access to correct materials. Common goods aren't going to be churning out of printers in people's homes in the foreseeable future. Not so long as its cheaper and easier to just buy it from a store. |
