I’d like to see them reconstructing precious animals that have gone extinct. There are quite a lot of those, perhaps a few species might solve the food problem for the ever-growing human population. Yummy stockoceros, for example, and bison antiguus.
And restaurants could fax over burgers you could print on your 3D printer.

Somewhere, in another age, long ago, a voidness met a nullness and they soon became null and void.

Adorable. I hadn’t seen that when I wrote post #3, but we are thinking along similar lines.

My dentist 3d-printed my crowns, in the office, while I waited. Perfect fit, and good for the rest of my life...

Are you serious? Because I’m their next customer. Does the process have a particular name?

They’re speculating about using 3D printers to make prosthetics and replacement bones. Amazing. Think about the kids with deformed legs, that can be rebuilt with straight replacement bones that won’t be rejected. Not only that, but short kids can be made taller with longer bones. You can build supermen with additional stronger ribs. If Michael Jackson were alive, he could finally get a good rebuilt nose.
