3D Printing Shocks the 2D World!!!!
Wilson Cooper and Walker Smith
Overview
Three-dimensional printing is an emerging technology that has experienced a rapid growth in the past few years. Inside of these printers, plastic is heated up and laid out layer-by-layer to create a freestanding object.
Yoda from Star Wars
This is a three-dimensional printer recreating Yoda from the classic movie Star Wars. With the ability to design and print just about any 3-D object, this has tons of do-ability.
Guns
You can use three-dimensional printing to replicate guns or parts of guns. Shown here is a once-broken gun that has been repaired using 3-D printed replacement parts. Using these replacements, the military can get cheaper parts for their soldiers' guns.
3-D Music
They can also be used for other cool things, such as this guitar. This can also help music stores and businesses by enlarging their profits.
