The future and shape shifting materials, baby steps, but its coming

Mark One, 3d printing Carbon Fiber

Mark One

Stronger than steel, lighter than water...3d printed microtrusses

Jens Bauer and his team at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have created a 3d printed material that is stronger than steel and lighter than water. More here.

Self Healing Material...sort of like terminator t1000...sort of

Visijet M3 Black, new material by 3D systems, appearance and feel of injection molding...?!

it's inevitable, 3d printing will get better and better resolution and strength of the part via material improvements. i don't know how or if it can ever catch the quality and speed of mass manufacturing, but those working on it are quite clever and smart. Quite interesting to see how this develops (3d printing).
