About this product:
Remember the Sci-Fi television programs of the ‘50s and ‘60s in which
engineers of the future could stand in front of a computer device, order
up practically any space sprocket or gizmo and watch it materialize in
seconds, ready for use? Believe it or not, that future is here—and has
been for some time.
While not as instantaneous as their fictional
counterparts, there are computerized machines that can replicate solid,
intricate 3-D objects in a process now being dubbed “3-D printing.”
