Response to Ted Talk

Lisa Harouni’s Ted Talk gave an overall view of applications of 3D printing technology, from machine design to personal product. The video suggests us to change the way we think about product design; 3D printing pushes the limit of human creativities. We can design things that human hand can’t never be able to achieve, like the engine she showed in the beginning the speech. 3D printing will change the way we shop and think, in the near future, we may purchase models online and print it out right away at home. We even could sell our products without actually put it in physical form.

As we getting more familiar with 3D printing technology over last few years, we can see it has been permeate through essential of the daily life. Our age group, who lives in this technology Era, should keep a step ahead of it. Learning, using it to create and explore more are primary.
