3D Printers

This changes everything. Or at least it will.

"Printing" a wrench.

More info.

Right now these are going for $60,000. When I was in high school laser printers were wall sized devices that cost hundreds of thousands. I wanted one of my own. Now I have one that costs about a hundred bucks and prints better quality faster than those wall sized models.

Can you imagine what this will be like when we can print objects? Need a copy of your car key? Press Print. Glasses frame broke? Press Print. Need a different sized screwdriver? Press print.

This is going to keep an army of patent attorneys busy for generations.
