For science!!

This technology has been in use for a couple of decades in the manufacturing industry. I remember reading an article on it in Modern Machine Shop in the late 90s. It is far less expensive for R and D to "print" a prototype of a new gadget, than it is for them pay a machinist to make one from a blueprint. The technology has advanced quite a bit with the ability to add moving components during printing. Previously, each part had to printed individually and them assembled by hand.

This will revolutionize the office party - drunk people can't resist the temptation to photocopy their asses as it is - imagine what they'd do with this sucker. :lol:
