  • it's all about the materials.. you can't make a plastic gun, the hammer's gotta be metal.. so until they can incorporate metal into this technology, it's mostly fruitless..

  • If it only uses plastic, how can they make a motorcycle.. idk.. The number one problem I see with 3d printers, is the limit on the materials it can use... He mentioned they're starting to build houses out of concrete, using 3d printers, as well as making art-work out of food.. but seriously now, from plastic to concrete, to nifty little creations with food, I don't see this tech. getting so far..

  • oop, i'm logged in, my bad

  • asdfd

  • With this tech when will I just be a tangible object...

  • wdf is this? so we print out stuff without actually making it?

    tell me something that i haven't thought of

  • so guns would be banned from the public?

  • wait if you can print body parts, can you print a body and put a brain and tada?

  • Everyone with a printer will still need to source materials and colouring for their objects. Can you imagine how much stuff people will waste on printing out stuff they don't need (look at how much is already wasted). The materialism of western cultures will go through the roof and the demand for raw materials with it. For this to be truely a success from the consumer perspective, people will have to learn some self control and change there attitudes towards "having things".

  • Omg SOPA is gonna react hard on this xD

  • @Kimx922 Isn't sopa gone for now.

  • @OrangeJuiceGamerRawr Yeah but if sopa get's this on their task list, I don't think the boss stops it :P

  • If anybody doesn't believe in these things, they need to see the story of the guy with the mario kart koopa shells who got a job thanks to one of these.

  • So much hype.

  • This going to be huge for mechanical parts.I can't wait till I can use this to print out missing joints and gears. For Design its going to be amazing

  • Meh those things arent going to really ruin jobs, though internet gonna set up over a billion sites about schemes or lets say blueprint that they sell to make your stuff

  • So where would you get the models for printing 3D objects? Companies would probably charge in order to obtain them.

  • Can this technology replace our current muscle groups and replace them with stronger ones? Like heart muscles maybe?

  • I would.... PRINT MONEY!!

  • New technology always threatens established markets (and obviously also opens new ones.) How many blacksmiths and potters do you know? But I guess people are always going to complain. It certainly is tough to adapt sometimes. I understand.

  • You can print things with the 3D printer so they look like a shoe, or something else, but you can't really print a car out of it, because you need to print out technology, thats something that can't be printed. You can't print out your own PC with Windows 7, because the printer has to have all technology to print into this PC. You can print out a model of a PC, like the box and other parts, but to make it work, it needs more than a 3D Printer has.

  • @MrTzatzikiTv

    "thats something that can't be printed"

    There are major research to implement many different technologies in 3D printing. 3D printing can already print complex mechanical parts.

    watch?v=GzA_7tkKmM0

    Only recently has metal printing has become possible. There was a recent breakthrough in printing Graphene which has many promising aspects for the future. Also even the aerospace industry is adopting 3d printing.

  • How does it work?!

    Is there footage of it in action? If so, I'd really like to see it.

  • To bad you can't print an education. Reading these comments is painful.

    I believe the technology is astounding. It's applications are endless.

    However, this is a very broad overview. I'm curious about the greater implications that 3D printing presents to a lower class individual such as myself.

  • Piracy: "You wouldn't download a bike"

    Of course I would, and I'm installing it to the real world right now!

  • torrent computers!!!!

    and cars and mopeds and drugs(not that oi use it)

    that could be a realy big problem

    but besides that its great

  • This is incredible. Although I heard Detroit has been printing cars for over 100 yrs now.... SMH

  • torrent a car. AWWWWW YAAAAA

  • I hope there is a way to print new jobs.

  • Mhh... I'm VERY skeptic... I mean: how can i print a solid steel gun in my house? Melting steel, and adding gunpowder? Printing a pen? It does require metal, plastic, ink.. Printing a PLASTIC car? Have fun with the first accident against a metal car...

    It's a nice idea but... world changing? I think not...

  • @sirotti1981 you literally know nothing about what you are talking about but of course you have an opinion on it.

  • It's nice, but System will collapse, people will print there stuff, people will lose there job, and so on....it's a good technology but it's for a Star war society witch we're not in, and we will never be. They try to sell it at large scale without thinking about the consequence, It would be a excellent ideas in 1960, if the system was build differently money vs work, sadly, we're at the end of time, went Toy, and material wont be our priority

    Watch this : /watch?v=7JV86gpR-gQ

  • it's frightening... does humanity have the wisdom for such technology?? Way no.. ! Give us a tool to 3dprint what we want when we want..the results will be disastrous. Perhaps Atlantis was destroyed by someone how 3dprinted some very destructive bomb ? Scientist were very exciting working on the A bomb.. is any innovation good to follow... ? I doubt it. With Zeitgeist etc movement, I see just Human GOD being replaced by a Technology God.. for both cases, without wisdom, the results are bad..

  • @AtmaQuestion

    You're so right...people are more evil, war destruction and so on....It's another thing to lure us, while all arround destruction happen it's sad.

  • @AtmaQuestion You are aware that to print a very destructive bomb, which to my knowledge is a hydrogen bomb or a nuclear bomb, you would need other material than just plastic. All that printer could do is make you the bomb encasement. You would still need the enriched uranium and so on to make a bomb that would "destroy Atlantis." These printers don't just make any material you want out of thin air....you still need to give it the materials to create what you wish.

  • @AtmaQuestion You can print something that looks like a bomb... but you cant print the things that make it go tic...

  • dis gon b gud

  • I dont think manufacturing companies will like this technology very much.

  • somethngs wrong with this it makes me feel weird

  • amazing technology.but from my opinion in the wrong hand this technology really change a lot.like undetected gun,piracy of good things that been design by designer.also for normal ppl it could make they lose fun time with kids to buying shoes or anything for the kids.

  • For one, remotely sending supplies to Japan to be 3D printed doesn't make sense. They still need the raw material to make the item and even if they the plastic, what are we gonna send them, the blue prints for all the items? They would have the blue prints themselves.

  • @ProperSauce u didnt get it...these Japanese will tell us what they need and we will make the items and ship it to them...they wont need to do anything but communicate with us.

  • Amazing technology!

    Like anything brought forth it is up to human consciousness to decide how it is used.

    Thank you

  • ooh a plastic gun! to bad the bullet will either melt or make it explode at the user.

  • I saw a Jacs Fresco's documental where he said, "in the next future, the human being, will have the capability to made his own house and building with this tech. And I'm in accordance with Mr, @kanefreeman too.

  • Pretty interesting talk. Thanks for uploading this

  • i don't think it's that bad. maybe i might sound a bit ridiculous, but it's just a simple thought. if such printers take over industries, humans can spend more time on stuff that we can't print, like food. people can then spend more time farming and gardening and stuff and focus more on saving the environment. wood will be replaced by the powder they use to print objects so there will be significantly less trees being cut down every year. maybe it will work this way? :o

  • this is another example of future technological unemployment. another example of why of our monetary economy is incompatible with technology

  • @redpillreality

    Well like the other dude in the comments said, this could free up some labor to work on more important shit that DOES need more care than it's getting like farming.

  • @xalener i agree its a good thing. the problem is it creates higher unemployment cause our economic system demands labor for employment for purchasing power for consumepsion for economic growth. not everyone can be a farmer.

  • @redpillreality

    That's the thing. Farming is too broad for a statement like that. Everthing involving consumables need to be rethought. Especially in America. Then again, so does economy in general. It's a shame there's not a chance in hell anyone around the world with authority would actually get their heads together and try to work it out. Especially the ones with huge debts owed to them.

  • It would be hard to blame working people in the future who might feel so threatened by this they organize and rise up, like the Luddites of Britain did, against the mechanization of their life's work.

  • We could use this for some of the "business" uses or....we could use this as a main constituent to fuel the ideas of a resource based economy, where money is no longer necessary. Capitalism, or rather a monetary system in general can not co-exist with this technology in full fruition as inevitable piracy will occur. It's as simple as that.

  • @XSilvenX dont repeat what you saw in a documentary.... its stupid...

  • @timemastro What documentary?

  • @XSilvenX zeitgiest moving foward....

  • @timemastro LOL I didn't know they said that in Zeitgeist Moving Forward... I suppose because I sign off on the idea and discuss it within the parameters of this technology you've taken up some sort of issue with it. You disagree with it and that in itself makes it stupid? Very nice reasoning I must say. Really nice objective argument you have going there. -1 for me as I allowed myself to be trolled.

  • @XSilvenX :)

  • @XSilvenX What the hell are you talking about? How do you pirate raw material? In every instance of technological advancement humans have used the technology to expand markets not eliminate them. You can't print material you don't have, you can't print fuel for a vehicle, you can't print groceries, you can't print the entire service industry.

  • Comment removed

  • 3D printing will eliminate human labor in manufacturing. This technology will fundamentally change, if not completely eliminate markets.

  • @kanefreeman1

    Perhaps very true, but beside all the tech that we got the system that we live in abuses it, every thing exist with one purpose only to serve the humanity, but unfortunately our leaders do not serve the people and that is the point where people should step up and stop that money, power, elite insanity and fake illusion! Na'vi, Wake Up!

  • @MancM Avatar sucks!

  • @hunter4hire it's about the idea, who cares about how it was made it is how creative one can be.

  • @MancM Agreed with you completely until you made a gay Avatar reference.

  • @SynikaI well it came up @ the moment ;) should have said people of the sun, but i didn't thought of it to be I don't know

  • @kanefreeman1 These are the same statements made when PC's started appearing in homes and offices.

  • @kanefreeman1 Increased technology only ever expands markets. This is where Karl Marx's attempt at prophecy went off the deep end and made him irrelevant 170 years ago. There is never going to be an end to new technology and people will always want to interact. You can't "print" (which is bad word for this technology) the base material. You can't print the perfect mixes of metals, unless you have an industrial plant. You can't print fuel, you can't print services.

  • @promontorium the market cant continue to compensate for jobs eliminated by technology. when new technology creates new jobs its because the technology is still inefficient so human labor is required. once that technology becomes efficient jobs are eliminated. its not about "printing" its about how much of the work is done by human labor. the more automated it is the less humans are needed to maintain technology the less jobs are available for that technology

  • @kanefreeman1 Human labor where? China? They have eliminated ours in America anyway. Boo hoo...

  • @kanefreeman1 Technology almost never serves people, it only serves money.. So will it benefit the normal individual? no chance..

  • @kanefreeman1 IM LIKE SOOO GOING TO PRINT MYSELF A BIG CHESTED GF!!!!

  • @kanefreeman1 goto my channel and watch my reply to your opinion.

  • @bj8282

    He said he didn't want to talk about the technology. There are plenty of other videos out there that talk about the specific technology. His focus is on where the progress of adoption is.

  • Definitely not an exaggeration brotha. 3D printing is where its at!

  • I don't get it. Where does the material come from, then? Some of them would be wood, metal, or combination of them, etc. How can they make it? I think he should explain more about technic in order to make people to understand how it actually works. Without that, it all sounds vague and bit exagerating.
