Bio-ink : human cells and degradable material
○
Using person's cells --> avoid rejection
○
Tissues grow and reproduce
○
Used to make organs by hand --> printer can easily do
○
U.S. military funding : hopes to treat soldiers
○
Technology existed since the 1980s, used beyond prototyping now
○
Planes fitted : lighter, better shape
○
Digital blueprints required
○
Plastic done drop by drop - "drawing"
○
Food printing? Cakes, etc.
○
Digital designs for guns 'weapon at every computer'

Also known as additive manufacturing
○
Cuts costs by removing production lines
○
Reduces waste
○
More efficient designs : pars in shapes other technology can't build
○
Used to only be used for prototyping - now is producing final products
○
Trying out new products will become less risky and expensive -->
collaboration / open source improvements
▪
No mould - can create each item differently at no extra costs --> mass
customization
○
Will there still be a need for factories? Will this reverse the urbanization
of industrialization?
○
May bring manufacturing back to developed world, but won't employ
many --> not labour intensive
○
IP implications --> easy to pirate

Vending machine self-opens for business from 8-5
○
Students can use, request any item
