3-D Printing + Infinite Computing = Paradise

3-D Printing + Infinite Computing = Paradise | Science News | Scoop.it

3-D printing makes prototyping ideas much easier, meaning more inventors creating more new technologies. It also means a revolution in the way consumer goods are created and shipped. Engineers are also working to change our habit of single-material manufacturing, where each part much be produced separately and then fitted together at a later stage. Professor of computing at Cornell University, Hod Lipson says: "We are making materials within materials, and embedding and weaving multiple materials into complex patterns."
