You mentioned that you were surprised that it took them this long to try this. On the contrary, I am kind of surprised at how fast it has come around. 3d printing in industry has been around for a long time, but 3d printing has gained a ton of traction and popularity in the past few years. I look forward to the results of experimentation with new materials and the realization of the potential of this tech Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17132264872813494813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-62022813748455717282015-03-24T21:09:03.582-07:002015-03-24T21:09:03.582-07:00It never ceases to amaze me at the ingenuity of en...It never ceases to amaze me at the ingenuity of engineers and scientists.

I think these two trends oppose each other but those are two goals that are important to strive for simultaneously.
