For your next blog post, please respond to the 3D printing demo you saw in class yesterday. (If you missed class, take a look at this and this one from Wired) Consider the implications of desktop 3D printing. Is this the next big thing? If so, why? Do yo want a 3D printer in your home? If so, what would you make with it and why? How might we make sense of 3D printing with what we’ve read for class so far? This post is due Friday by noon.
The 3D printing industry will just open up so many new exciting opportunities to do good! Sure we must be careful and alert, 3d printing can also harm us (printing 3d weapons, knives, etc) but it can save lives, reduce costs, speed processes and so on.
