3D printing can be used for making new body parts, tool, toys, food, houses and even weapons. New uses for this emerging technology are endless. The process itself is quite simple. First you need to create or download a digital 3D model in a 3D software of your choice. Then you use a 3D printer to transform your virtual creation into a real physical object. This technology allows anyone to design and create anything they want.
Makerbot is one of the manufacturers of 3D printers. On their website Thingiverse.com they already have more than 30 thousand 3D models that can be downloaded for free and printed on your own 3D printer. Where this new breakthrough technology will take us, only time can tell, but one thing is certain – the 3D printing revolution has begun.
