I hope you are right, Vince. The next step in a run-away government would be to identify households/businesses having these devices and to monitor their output.

This 3-D printing will in a little while morph into something called an assembler.
They will come in small desktop models to large mobile models that build homes/bridges/whatever
Just about all you really need to build large structures like homes is lots of sand, an assembler and plenty of energy.
Assemblers will one day be able to create drugs, food, clothes, electronic devices, tools .... and new assemblers.
Progressives (communists) will NOT like this tech at all! How can you rule over a populace that does not need anything from government!?!?

One of the nice things about this is the home version of these machines were begun as open source hobby projects, which are still around. There is no real way to determine who has built these machines.

Here is a longer talk by the same Hod Lipson:

When I can buy a 3D printer/assembler that can make me a new 3D printer/assembler, I’ll be first in line. Until then, I remain doubtful that I can print myself up a new iPhone any time soon.

The 3D printer empowers the individual. That’s why the gov will soon get around to controlling the things.

To: Vince Ferrer
I like the whole 3D printing concept, it fits in well with the DIY concept Americans have come to know and love. Working in the machine tool industry, I can add this to my arsenal of machining techniques. Of course, the DIY CNC concept predates this technology by at least a decade. I can easily see combining both of the conceptsto produce anything people can come up with.

Remember, communist countries license possession and use of printers/copiers/faxes. Punishment of violations is severe.
If 3D printers are likewise controlled, it’s time.

do they have any 3-d printers that can make metal components that can take stresses?

This reminds me of Jurassic Park 3 (2001). Sam Neill's assistant out at the dig at the beginning of the movie had a 3D printer in the headquarters. He printed the voice box (that's a technical term) of a Velociraptor that they used on the island to simulate a Velociraptor distress call when surrounded by Velociraptors.

That’s exactly what it is. I’m open to finding a good graphic for the 3-D Printer Ping list, if you have one in mind.

If you want to do something in metal on the cheap, the best thing is to make a 3d print of what you want in wax, and then use a lost wax casting process to make your metal part.
