this is what really amazes me about this technology brehs


How 3D Printers Are Reshaping Medicine



amazing.... print out kidneys and other parts of the body , no more waiting list for transplants etc,

downfall is all these big medical companies getting there hand in already

I mean, you still need the raw materials necessary to make whatever it is you want to make.

It's basically like having a mini assembly-line in your house. Not really a like "printer" because you're not "printing" anything.

 

[Zombi_Jeezus]

this is nuts. just imagine what might happen when these printers are able to "print" with more durable materials.

They already have some that use metal I think theyre expensive as f#ck. This sh!t has me When these become affordable tho...

sure but this basically cuts the cost of production to zero.....some raw materials are expensive but most are cheap.......its the costs of production thats expensive

also wait until you have a 3-D printer in 2030 when the assembly is being done at the molecular/atomic level......then all you need is are atoms

 

[Yuzo Lightheart]

then all you need is are atoms

"all sons of old gods die"

all power structures lose validity at this point. an entirely new world just like that.

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

another cool thing about these printers is that they can print more printers.
self replication.

3D print your own custom nokia phone back cover for free

One of the great things about Nokia phones from way back when was making it your own with swappable plastic. While that level of exterior personalization isn't available on many handsets these days -- instead we've got bumpers and cases -- Nokia added a removable shell to its Lumia 820 Windows Phone. You can always go ahead and buy new ones, but if you've got access to a 3D printer, Nokia has just released a "3D-printing Development Kit" with all the documentation you'll need to create a custom backing for yourself. It's available for download from the source links below, and contains "3D templates, case specs, recommended materials and best practices."

[rapbeats]

we had these in school when i started undergrad in 2005. now I know a decent amount of labs in the country that uses a 3D printing system using cells instead of ink. there's a guy that made an artificial mouse heart with a printer and that shyt actually beats in solution

wait...what

 

[Metta World Movement]

What the fukk kinda "Meet George Jetson" ass shyt is this

I scared........

this might be the biggest technological event to happen in our recent lifetimes...these could change the world as we know it

3D printer spits out human embryonic stem cells | Fox News

In a new study, researchers from the University of Edinburgh have created a cell printer that spits out living embryonic stem cells. The printer was capable of printing uniform-size droplets of cells gently enough to keep the cells alive and maintain their ability to develop into different cell types. The new printing method could be used to make 3D human tissues for testing new drugs, grow organs, or ultimately print cells directly inside the body.
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are obtained from human embryos and can develop into any cell type in an adult person, from brain tissue to muscle to bone. This attribute makes them ideal for use in regenerative medicine — repairing, replacing and regenerating damaged cells, tissues or organs. [Stem Cells: 5 Fascinating Findings]
In a lab dish, hESCs can be placed in a solution that contains the biological cues that tell the cells to develop into specific tissue types, a process called differentiation. The process starts with the cells forming what are called "embryoid bodies." Cell printers offer a means of producing embryoid bodies of a defined size and shape.
