3D Printers : The Power of "Creating"

3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other additive manufacturing technologies. 3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models that closely emulate the look, feel and functionality of product prototypes. [Wikipedia]

 3D Printing technology has been getting popular recenlty. It has become financially accessible to small- and medium-sized business but I guess soon we -the home users- will be able to get those in our houses as well. There are a few manufacturers of those printers and the product prices changing between 300 and 20.000 $ but it will definately get cheaper by time. It is an amazing technology actually and I love watching 3D printing videos sometimes. It is so simple also ; Just draw something in 3D CAD file format and then "create" it !

Here, some cool videos ;
