The Future of 3D Printing
What do nanobots, better water filtration, and space colonization have in common? They're all being made possible by advances in 3D Printing! This video was made in collaboration with & sponsored...
==========
3D printing has revolutionized the way we make stuff. And the technology is evolving -- fast! Advances in 3D printing have made it possible to print things we never could before -- like tiny batteries and super effective water filters. And we might even be able to use 3D printing to colonize other worlds, starting with the Moon. 3D printing is sometimes known as additive manufacturing, which should give you some idea of how it works: You program a 3D printer with a design, and it builds a thing according to that design, generally by stacking layers of material on top of each other. But one problem that’s come up is that it’s hard to 3D print on a small scale. If you’re printing something that’s, say, 5 hundredths of a millimeter wide, every f...
