    Serious question... do you think when 3D printing becomes more mainstream & affordable that it will be the death of Lego as a company?

    Unless Lego (and many other companies) adapts to this manufacturing revolution...Then sure, they can go outta business.

    Just print your own Lego, print your own toys, print your own gun.

    Real wealth (in this case) is knowing about CAD files, knowing how to design things, to make/print them.

    Having said that, I'm not sure what intellectual property rights Lego has etc.

    Also, its gonna take maybe 5-10 years for us (at home) to print a piece (of lego) as good as Lego themselves make them.

    I've tried, its not easy, the end results now are not up to actual Lego standards (yet).

    Many companies should be worried...in 10-15 years, 3D printing will be everywhere.

    yea there's a place that makes dentures and I'm wondering what will happen to them in a few years.

    I'm just reading William Gibson's new novel The Peripheral, set in some undefined but slightly futuristic time when 3D printing appears to be the norm and you go to chain stores like "Fabbit" to have your goods made. A glimpse at what the world might be like if this is the reality; and yes, they do fab weapons. (a great read, by the way, for any interested)

    I bet Dentists themselves will have 3D printers in office to manufacture in house.

    Sounds interesting.

    UPS,FedEx etc started experimenting with 3D printing in some locations, Staples too.

    I've been working on Setting shop up, starting a school for 3D printing (for kids).

    These things blow my mind.
    I am really enjoying watching things that are literally from the imagination of Gene Roddenberry become reality. Anyone else who is an ST: TNG nerd loving how modern technological advancement often stems from Star Trek ideas?? Like, for real? I think that's so cool!! :-B
