    Wonderful, when it comes to transplantations of the future, when it comes to heart , lungs, and so forth.

    if indeed such a technology becomes a reality I think it will be shunned or banned, or limited. There has been too much investment and legal provisions in protecting the unique nature of objects, and people holding capital will surely not desire their pockets to be deflated.

    Incredible. In 20-30 years we'll be able to buy replacement hearts and other organs.

    What if you combined the machines together lol.

    "What's that new thing there you have Rob?"
    "Oh that, it's my new 3d heart printing machine :)"

    I won't be happy until it can make me a bowl of rice pudding at the right consistency, like the ones on star trek.

    Hmmm. In the future could printed porn be superior to porn on your pc?

    Mmm, boobs feel small
    *open 3d photoshop*
    *enlarge*
    *print*
    *feel*
    All thats better.

    :p

    Just saw the links. After watching the movie, this looks like it could actually print edible stuff just from cells. Sure, it might screw over some people in the food industry, but still, stores in the future would have to get their cow cells from SOMEWHERE. I can see stores selling capsules full of cells with the label "Cow" or whatever else on them.

    However, it would take like all day for it to print one Steak. But thats still pretty impressive.

    As for the second link, there's hardly any info on that thing, but being able to print anything I needed would be neat I guess.

    About the food part, yeah you could make a steak with you inkjet, but it takes all the fun away from the cow getting the axe:evil:
