A printer that brings
digital designs to life, either by squirting molten plastic like a cake decorator, or by using a binder material to fuse powder.
Commonly requested items:
- Another 3d printer
- A gun
- A woman
- Organs
Though all those things are possible to some extent, they are usually cruddy and do not work unless you add some sort of manual labor.
Some people use their printers to print paperclips, toothpicks, phone cases, and whistles, but why not just go to the Dollar store instead? Also, 3d printed models are very crude, almost pixellated, and made out of cheap (but expensive) plastic.
Despite popular belief, 3d printing will never replace
2d printing. That is like saying "chainsaws will replace scissors".
2D printing is for printing out a biology report or business letter, and 3d printing is for printing out models.
