Future Vision

My area of interest is the future development of the reactive blueprints. This is because it is the most sophisticated form of language. Just having the ability to change the environment would make a 3D printed object exponentially more powerful than they are right now. Having things that are constantly changing to your needs that are created by the environment is so revolutionary. There are so many areas in your life where this would become a game changer. Something to protect you from the elements like rain or snow. Perhaps even something that prevents death would be hailed as the invention of the century. A personal bodyguard against harm or even body armor in war. This can be the basis of 3D printed tires that change tread depending on the ground temperature and weather to optimize performance of a car. These are just a few ideas that could change every industry from the ground up. We need the greatest minds of our generation to create algorithms to slowly chip away at this problem. Algorithms that sense change and can adapt accordingly would be a game changer. The universal language of the world is ones and zeros, which in turn is run by mathematics. This would make 3D printing a groundbreaking disruptor within every conceivable product possible. Things as mundane as pots would grow according to the plant that is potted in it when necessary. This reactive blueprinting would rely heavily on the material available to facilitate the change. So the advances made in this field would be something that would be relied upon heavily. There have been many advancements in this field with printable food stuff being prototyped along with material that has the properties to change due to temperature or precipitation. It would soften or harden depending on the function of the material.
