3D Printing close to becoming a household reality

What would it be like if you could order a part for your vacuum or washing machine and you received an email with instructions on how to print out your part at home, instant gratification? What if you ordered a lamp online and received an order confirmation with the instructions to print out your lamp. Sound crazy?? What if I told you the technology exists and the printer is offered as a desktop solution for only $3000? Take a look at this video featuring Lisa Harouni giving “A Primer on 3D printing”, posted on one of my favorite sites, TED talks. You will be blown away at just how close we are to this being a reality.
