The new world of 3D printing

BOOK TIP Hod Lipson and Melba Kurman had a vision: a world with fresh breakfast muffins, eco-houses, always-available replacement organs and individually shaped toothbrushes - all printed in 3D.The authors are convinced that we are in for a revolution that will turn our lives upside down. In the end, we will emerge from it healthy, happy and purified: Whether it's educational misery, environmental pollution, hunger, poverty or life-threatening diseases, there's a 3D solution for everything. Only when it comes to the crucial question of jobs do the authors remain vague. No wonder, after all, they enthusiastically state that in the not too distant future, autonomously working design programs will create robots that march out of the printer ready to use and then reproduce themselves. getAbstract recommends this fascinating book especially to interested laymen who do not want to be overwhelmed by the upcoming changes.getAbstract rating: 9Importance: 9Innovation level: 9Style: 8 Publisher: SybexPublication date: 2014Pages: 298ISBN: 9783527760497
