What if 2 years from now every school had a 3d printer and anyone could have the fun of making things.... (like we used to use legos, they can print their legos, or just print the final item) all you have to do is add a tiny layer of an idea on the back of an pre-existing good idea... (kinda like that tiny layer at 3d printer squirts out each pass....only this layering of ideas speeds up as you go). Kinda fun to be at the very starting point of this revolution. Will be fun to see as 3d printer prices drop and software gets easier to use... and resolution goes up and ability to pause the printer and add in other items to a print... or print electronics into a design...or change up the material type so you can print simultaneously with different strength materials. They have dual head printing 3D printers now, but they normally use the same materials (imagine one head prints Stainless steel and the other does ABS plastics). All very cool.... makes me think of the gold rush to California...maybe this is the idea rush of 3d printing. Exciting time to be alive. …so if this idea of Change and development is going to happen at an ever increasing rate….to one day reach the singularity…. . then we need a ton of new ideas… and the old system of waiting for big/slow companies to have another meeting before they invent something is just not going to work…. what if everyone that could afford a $300 home 3d printer in the future could suddenly be a part of changing the world… What if 2 years from now every school had a 3d printer and anyone could have the fun of making things….
