Good Day World!
In the 1960s it was – “Beam me up Scotty.”
In 2016, it will be “Go ahead and 3-D me a car please.”
I wondered where 3-D technology would go when I first read about it in 2010. What’s amazing is how fast 3-D printing has become commercial. It seems literally anything can be 3-D printed.
Some examples:
Startup Local Motors plans to get into the automotive industry next year when it launches what it promises will be the world's first 3D printed car.

A Chinese company has successfully 3-D printed a five-story apartment building and a 1,100 square meter villa from a special print material.

The 3-D Printing In Zero-G Technology Demonstration (3D Printing In Zero-G) experiment by NASA demonstrates that a 3-D printer works normally in space. In general, a 3-D printer extrudes streams of heated plastic, metal or other material, building layer on top of layer to create 3 dimensional objects.
