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!?!?

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.

Kind of sounds like that great machine that the Krell were building in the 1950’s sci-fi classic, “Forbidden Planet”…

Just so long as they can’t start printin’ “the Id…”
