It seems like it is a bit of a leap from this to anything with an internal mechanism, which you'd have to disassemble and scan piecemeal, as far as I can tell.

That said, one step closer to the matter replicator, which is great news to me.
- noonespecial 17y agoWatch the "Jays Garage" video on the page where they print a working crescent wrench and an even more amazing working model of a steam engine, no assembly required. Its closer than you think.
- smhinsey 17y agoThanks for pointing that out, it's definitely interesting and I have the bad habit of tending to skip videos. What I meant by having to do it piecemeal was the scanning though, not the printing. I suppose in a world where you could simply download the whole CAD plan for whatever you want that doesn't matter much.
