What Cool Things Can 3D Printers Make? Reader's Digest October, 2013
Yes, 3D printing's made the jump to your home—but scientists are using it for much, much more than you could ever have imagined.
Now on store shelves is a new breed of device that may transform your home: the 3D printer.
The Cube (from Cubify) makes the widely discussed future of digital technology accessible. Consider it your own personal mini-factory for $1,299. Here’s how it works: The unit melts plastic from cartridges you buy (like normal printer ink) and layers it over and over again to create desired items. Want a new bracelet for a night on the town, a set of coasters for tomorrow’s potluck, or a toy rocket ship for the kid? You can download models for the printer to make these items and many more.
The at-home Cube can make almost anything you can think of...made of plastic . . . An ear in a petri dish. . . . Fashionable Apparel
