Please don't vote this to the front page. Look at the other video of this. It literally is two grad students and some crappy CAD controlled polymer extruder. It's rediculous. Sure the concept is great but the reality is about the same as you using an icing piping bag to make ornaments.

That's a bit harsh joedirt. Various technologists have predicted this kind of development. The fact that it's a small project and not financed by say IBM doesn't make it any less interesting. Who knows where it will lead?

.....the real is the real...this is another example of why we need to find a way to continue the R&D that the Military Complex supports, while eliminating the marketability of death and destruction-cause....oh and, this technology...been aroung for at least 30 years kid....anything we get, that you see now, was developed for military application, years ago!

Have seen the concept perfected in the construction of intricate, 3-d models, done with polymers, to sayyyy bring from a cad drawing of a carbuerator-a physical model prior to production for designers to handle and test to perfect. So, these kids have their cheesecloth for ornaments, but the Gods of the Paradigm, have the real deal, behind closed doors, floors, and wars....

Yay for synthesized MIDI music!
