In a few years, new 3-D printers could make it possible to print out solid objects just like you print out your homework assignments today.
Imagine downloading three-dimensional plans from the Internet, pressing print on your home printer, and having a new fork or toothbrush in just a few hours. The technology could even be used to make action figures from your favorite video game characters.
These 3-D printers have been around for about 10 years, but they could cost up to $100,000. A that price, only colleges and engineering companies could afford them. Now, some companies are working on versions that will be cheap enough to be used at your neighborhood copy shop, or even in your home.

It is realistic, but cheap might be $5,000 because that’s cheap compared to $100,000 and it would have to be a non electronic item and there would have to be materials needed which could be making you spend more than just $5,000
Thanks for the information. Any other posts or blogs you can recommend?
It will help me get more LEGOs, That’s for sure!
Human thechnology is more advanced than we realize. Who knows what they have the capacity to do but just aren’t telling us about it (yet).
I’m going to print out a DS Lite
i wonder if you can “print” out another 3-D printer
sound s aewsome nneeeddd it
How is that possible???
If its cheap in the future, IT WILL BE AWESOME!!!
That’s so cool! I can’t believe they can do that!
it sounds like something from a science fiction movie.
