3D printing powered by thought
Imagine if you could print objects just by thinking about them. Camila Ruz visits one company to see whether this is far-fetched dream or a real possibility.
It's definitely not a bird. Nor is it a plane. The garish orange piece of plastic, small enough to hold in the palm of a hand, could pass for a missing limb of a toy tyrannosaurus. It may not look all that impressive, but it's notable for two reasons. One is that the monster arm has emerged from a 3D printer. The other is that it is, in fact, the first ever object made from thought.

Yeah, wouldn't be good for me to do that. You'd have naked redheads with beer steins and handing out hot chicken wings.
Wait, what am I saying, give me one of those things right now. Everyone party at my place! (Femme dudes will have fun, as I'll let them make some himbos for their fun, too.)
