So right 2ndDivisionVet.

And we have plenty of the main 3D printing materials of the future...silicon and petrochemicals.

15 years to the printing of a heart...30 years to print a new eye. Drug printing in 10-20 (depending on the drug). Routine printing of houses in 5 years.

The future of really, really inexpensive stuff is almost upon us.

It will actually be like money growing on trees...seriously.
