3d printers. Overview of achievements for 2013
Dentures for people and animals, 3D printing of space structures, food and shoes, increasing the accuracy of printing, new materials, new software.
A bunch of projects on crowdfunding platforms.
Well and pistols, where without them.
China, Japan, Australia, USA, Netherlands, Africa and Haiti, it seems that 3D printing is available in all corners of the world.
