3D Printing

 Hello, I will now talk about 3D printing and it's effect on you. 3D printing is a revolutionary product. You can find a design and wait a few hours and there it is! You can make iPhone cases, little toys, almost anything you can think of that can be made of plastic. This technology has grown over the past decade with many new  3D printing companies releasing new printers each year. There is even a company which manufactures a machine which you put plastic in to make plastic able to be used in a 3D printer! But even with all the development there is still one main detriment to 3D printing: it costs much too expensive. Many 3D printer prices have risen not sunk. The cheapest 3D printer you can get is a Solidoodle 2 for $500. The plastic used in 3D printers is also expensive with 1 kg rolls costing $25. But the 3D printer is still a revolutionary product which I will be waiting for with excitement. Next I will talk about some products made by 3D printers!
