This is like the Industrial Revolution in its infancy.
The world is going to be forever changed drastically. This is just the beginning.

While great, I hope the technology remains in responsible hands.

No man-made technology has ever “remained in responsible hands” (whatever that means), so why should this one be different? That’s just how we are. Two months after it is out of the box, mobsters and others will be using it to make all kinds of illicit products.

Scientists looking to sequence specific strings of DNA often need very expensive custom reagents. Perhaps a machine like this one could make them on site.

Unlike the “space age” that never occurred, the nanotech age could possibly revolutionize modern civilization on a scale similar to what the bronze age did to the stone age.

This may well be the most disruptive technological breakthrough of my lifetime. The implications are staggering, frightening and hopeful all at the same time.

If I had one of these machines I would try to create a variant of the ACV1 molecule that would block α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in humans, not just in mice or rats. The end of neuropathic pain. http://www.tocris.com/dispprod.php?ItemId=210902#.VQUdXCg4o3Q

Where else but FR can you read about a breakthrough molecular engibeering technology and a man shooting himself in the nuts with bottle rockets all on the same page?

Wow, it seems like every time we turn around, another mind-boggling possibility comes up in the world of 3D printing. You definitely get the sense that if you thought the 20th Century was a time of amazing technological advancements, the 21st is going to completely dwarf it.

This is like the Industrial Revolution in its infancy.
The world is going to be forever changed drastically. This is just the beginning.That was my impression when 3-D first came out. I thought that there are a lot of people - and governments - who are going to be blind-sided by this technology.

Will gold save you or your family members? This printer could.

If we can develop the technology to "print" at the atomic level, that'll change human civilization.
We'll be able to "print" any element: gold, silver, carbon, uranium, etc.
If we can arrange protons, neutrons, and electrons to "print" at the atomic level, we'll be able to create entirely new elements.
The possibilities are astounding.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Yes the printer trend is still in the hype mode another cure all story always sells.
