1 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind from how Stuff 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: Works dot com. Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow your Mind. 3 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: My name is Robert Lamb And and this is part 4 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: two of our two parter on three D printing three 5 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: D printers of the Gods. Uh. The idea here and 6 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: the snazzy title, of course, refers to the idea that 7 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: three D printers essentially allow almost any idea that's out 8 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: there to take physical form, which in a way is 9 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: kind of kind of godlike and it and it forces 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: us to really rethink what the future is going to be, like, 11 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: what our relationship with objects is going to be, and 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: really also it makes us sort of think about what 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: our relationship with objects is now. We talked in the 14 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: last podcast about some of the current things that are 15 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: going on, such as Devantie is wearing a dress that 16 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: it was three D printed, people trying to three D 17 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: print the perfect plastic gun like an actual gun that 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: kills people, oxygen aryans printing out novelty adult toys exactly, 19 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: novelty to us exactly. And uh, and today we're going 20 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: to we we talked a little bit about the future 21 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: in the last one, but this time we're gon we're 22 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: gonna go a little more detailed on that. We're going 23 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: to talk about some of the near future revolutions in 24 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: three D printing that are really going to change the world. 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: It's true because although three D printers aren't quite the 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: transporter devices we hoped for at this point, the fact 27 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: of the matter is that they are rearranging matter and 28 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: they are sort of defined space and time when it 29 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: comes to objects, into consumerism and to making what you 30 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: want when you want it. So some of the things 31 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: that are going to be happening very soon with three 32 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: D printing um that are going to change everything. First 33 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: of all, we're looking at three D printing reaching the 34 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: industrial strength level. Now, three D printing, as we've mentioned before, 35 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: has been a part of industry for about twenty years now, 36 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: and it's been useful in UH create rapidly producing UH 37 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: prototypes in some cases. But we're talking about a situation 38 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: where three D printing will be able to produce objects 39 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: of high quality, industrial grade that can be that can 40 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: be a part of automobiles, etcetera. And now some automobiles 41 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: already have through some three D printing parts, but we're 42 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: talking about an age win pretty much all parts are 43 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: going to be produced by three D printing as opposed 44 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: to traditional subtractive methods such as printing the pieces out 45 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: of a sheet of metal or using a mold to 46 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: pour and pouring a mold to create the device. Yeah, 47 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: because I mean, at the end of the day, when 48 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: you're when you're talking about the future three D printing, 49 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: you're talking about materials that are lighter, that can be 50 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: made faster, and can be customized. So it's a perfect 51 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: fit for manufacturing. Um, So you know you're going to 52 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: see more of these printers and factories just printing out parts. 53 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: You also see them in the nano manufacturing industry, which 54 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: will talk more about. And then you look at you're 55 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: gonna see it just in actual like hey, we're gonna 56 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: build something. We're gonna build a building, and so imagine 57 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: large blocks of like custom building materials being printed out 58 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: on a job site. Yeah. And and to go back 59 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: to prototyping real quick, you're just gonna see that that 60 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: speeded up even more. The ability to quickly produce a 61 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: working prototype for for a new product. It's just gonna 62 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: be it's gonna be exponentially improved. Yeah. In fact, the 63 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: D shape printer, which was created by Enricodini, is capable 64 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: now of printing a two story building complete with rooms, stairs, pipes, 65 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: and partitions, and it uses nothing but sand an inorganic 66 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: binding compound, and then the resulting material has the same 67 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: durability as reinforced concrete. With this is super cool the 68 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: look of marble um. Of course, now you can only 69 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: use this on rounded structures, but the process itself takes 70 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: approximately about a fourth of the time as traditional buildings, 71 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: and it doesn't really require any specialized knowledge or skill set. Yeah, 72 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: because a lot of the you know, we get into 73 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: the idea of printing nano materials, and we've talked before 74 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: about like when whether we're talking about space elevators or 75 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: super tall buildings, we always come back around to the 76 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: use of nano materials because when you're building things from 77 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: the smallest level up, which to a certain extent is 78 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: three D printing in itself. It's the idea that I'm 79 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: starting small and building everything up from the bottom. But 80 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: if you start really small, if you're building things up 81 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: from the from the smallest structures possible, then you're able 82 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: to create super strong materials capable of tethering a space 83 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: elevator in place, or creating the sort of skyscrapers that 84 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: right now we can only dream of. It doesn't change physics, 85 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: but it changes the way that materials act in in 86 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: the realm of physics, which is really cool because that 87 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: is really liberating as as someone who is a designer 88 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: in someone who is trying to do something like see 89 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: a spacecraft. Yeah, I mean, it's the difference between me 90 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 1: selling two things together, or me sewing up a hole 91 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: in my hoodie or something as opposed to to an 92 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: actual scene stress or an or or sewing machine doing it. Um. 93 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: And you know, in the difference between a big visible 94 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: um stitch and an invisible stitch. And it's just the 95 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: finer level of detail, the finer grade of craftsmanship that 96 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: you get when you when you build things up from 97 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: that very small level. And when you're speaking about building 98 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: up things for a very small level, of course, you 99 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: start thinking about the medical ramifications that this because we're 100 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: built up very small exactly exactly, um. And we have 101 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,119 Speaker 1: experiments and printing soft tissue that are underway now. UM. 102 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: But the idea is that if if you can master that, 103 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: you may begin to print veins and arteries to you 104 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: to be used in operations and then um, you know, 105 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: taking to the extreme, you can then print organs and 106 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: you're not even taking into the strain. The extreme is 107 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: of course printing the whole bodies. Yeah, I mean, which 108 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: not only would would vanquish the whole organ uh donor 109 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: problem that we have, right, but I mean you write 110 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: you just hey, here's another me. Yeah, I'm just going 111 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: to keep it in the and storage until I need 112 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: to replace myself. And this is a great example of 113 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: three D printer of the gods here, because we're essentially 114 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: talking about a three D printer creating objects, creating a 115 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: person as nature creates a person. You know, the the 116 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: idea that it's it's just it's created from the smallest piece, 117 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: it's it's grown. Yeah, there is an element of bio 118 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: mimicry about this. We'll talk about this more when we 119 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: talk about four D printing. But um, it is interesting 120 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: that we're getting sort of back to the basics when 121 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: we're talking about three D printing, because it really is 122 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: sort of saying, let's take take nature's way of building 123 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: up and see if we can recreate this process in 124 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: a machine. Um. Consumerism, Yes, this is gonna be huge. 125 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: I mean, this is what I think is going to 126 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: be one of the most interesting aspects about three D 127 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: printing because I think it will greatly change our behavior. 128 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: And you and I talked about this in the last 129 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: podcast last episode. Is that you know, one day you 130 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: could go to Amazon and you could click on a 131 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: box there that says I want to customize this because 132 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: as Amazon has now decided to use this technology with 133 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: their companies, um in their manufacturers, and it's just gonna 134 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: be something pretty wrote like, Hey, I need to get 135 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: this new SYNC, but I really would love to have 136 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, some sort of crazy design of vampire 137 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: state building, yeah, you know in it or I don't know. Yeah, 138 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: I mean, and we already have some of those options, 139 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: for instance, with some of our our digital and some 140 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: non digital media media. You want a book, okay, if 141 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: you want it in hardback? You want and soft back? 142 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: You want in paperback? Or do you want it uh? Digital? Right? Uh? 143 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: And how do you want that album? Do you want 144 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: it joined vinyl, you want it on c D, you 145 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: want it on a retrocassette which is coming back in 146 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: some case? Do you or you want it digitally? All right? Well, 147 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: we have five options for that. You want to in flak, 148 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: you want an MP three, you want it, and and 149 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: you know, it just goes on and on. So you'll 150 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: see that kind of stuff when you buy things. All right, 151 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: what size do you want it? In? What color do 152 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: you want it? Also upload the dimensions of your hand 153 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: to upload that your actual physical dimensions, and we'll make 154 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: sure that it fits you to a t us. So 155 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: try to imagine that. So let's say that you want 156 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: a specific design that you can get to pick from 157 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: all these stock files of this specific design or you 158 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: know stock art, and then yeah, you can upload if 159 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: it if the object relates to your body, then you 160 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: upload your own dimensions and then Amazon surely will deliver 161 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: that to you within the hour because now even now 162 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: they're trying to do same day delivery. So we have wait. 163 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: Since we're extrapolating in the future, we have to think 164 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: about this, you know, five years out. Yeah, and you're 165 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: gonna see that It's going to be like with any 166 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: technological innovation, there are going to be companies that adapt 167 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: and shift and survive, and then they're gonna be ones 168 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: that fall to the wayside, and there are going to 169 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: be new entrepreneurs that that pop up that are like, hey, 170 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: this is how people are going to be consuming. What 171 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: can we do to game it? They're going to be 172 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: products that come out that are specifically aimed at three 173 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: D printing. Well, see, I'm glad that you brought that up, 174 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: because it really does change the landscape of companies in 175 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: their ability to produce. So, you know, I wonder does 176 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: Amazon then begin to produce items instead of just distribute, 177 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: because essentially they can take over if you can print anything, 178 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: then why even half manufacturers that you distribute? Why why 179 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: just um, why not just be the point persona and 180 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: then that process? And then to what extent did these 181 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: companies become the means of creating? You know? I mean 182 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: because like we mentioned before, I mean everybody, everybody wants 183 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: to to be an artist, Everyone wants to be a writer, 184 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: everyone wants to be a musician to varying degrees that 185 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: the Internet is a great example of all sorts of 186 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: different people producing something and wanting to share it with 187 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: the world. And then take that and translated to the 188 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: world of objects. So do these companies end up becoming 189 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: more and more involved in user generated content like the 190 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: Wikipedia of objects? Right? And you know our our storefronts 191 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: replaced by just a storefront. Yeah. Do you go to 192 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: the mall and it's just one uh three D printing kiosk. 193 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: We'll probably multiple chaos where you go in and you 194 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: you print out the things you want. I mean maybe 195 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: you have a situation where the stores are still there 196 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: so that you can you can shop. People like to 197 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: look at things before they buy them. But then when 198 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: you decide you print it out. You go to the kiosks, 199 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: you print it out, and you can print out you know, 200 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: your your new shoes, your new dress, the toy for 201 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: the kid, uh and maybe even your hamburger. I would 202 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: but just say you could also pray. If you're a 203 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: little bit you know, you feel like you mean a gnash, 204 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: then hey you can. This is an ability that Cornelling 205 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: University's fab Home fab at Home project can actually do 206 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: right now. They use gel like substances that can be 207 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: combined with other materials, including artificial flavor yeum uh to 208 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: mimic the taste in mouth feel of many different foods. Yeah, 209 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: this was really interesting because they also talked a little 210 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: bit about the the Uncanny Valley of foods with this 211 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: because because the gel like substance called hydro collides is 212 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: is apparently a little unsettling, like it's filled with artificial flavoring. 213 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: And you can print it, say, in the shape of 214 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: a turkey leg, sure, but if it doesn't taste like 215 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: a turkey leg, it's gonna be a little weird. So 216 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: they they've really kind of decided that they need to 217 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: work on the taste first and then worry about printing 218 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: it out in to the four into the actual shapes, 219 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: which which makes sense, and maybe to a certain extent 220 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: it's I mean, it makes me think of candy, right, 221 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: and specifically banana flavored candy. You ever had banana flavored candy? 222 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 1: It doesn't taste like bananas, and to a certain extent, 223 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: orange candy doesn't taste like oranges. But you get into 224 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: that area, how close can the taste be to the 225 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: thing and still get away with it? And to what 226 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: extent it does it become a new thing because orange 227 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: candy it's nothing like an actual orange in flavor or 228 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: in texture. But I know, I was just thinking about 229 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: to the twenties, and we talked about um when we 230 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: did the food episode, and we were talking about the 231 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: candy that became a stand in for a meal, because remember, 232 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: people didn't have much money and they had those turkey 233 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: meals and it was I don't know if it actually 234 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: was supposed to taste like a roast turkey or I 235 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: think I think they had chocolate and it was the idea. 236 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: The idea was, hey, you need a meal, here's a meal. 237 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: Peel it back and eat it. So we have evidence 238 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: that we've done this before, and certainly if you don't 239 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: have the resources, then maybe you can't accept that. And 240 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: after all, it's a shot of glucose. Anyways, look at 241 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: some of the stuff people eat already, Like a chicken 242 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: nugget is nothing like anything real. It's you know, it's 243 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: it's you know, you look at stuff with pink slime. 244 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we're already magnufacturing unreal food out of strange things. 245 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: So and people and people love it. So um, pink 246 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: slime is found in hamburger meat, right, yeah, yeah, So 247 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: I I have no doubt that three D printing could 248 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: easily create something that people would love, if not tolerate. Specifically, 249 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: when you're talking about like say, long term space missions, 250 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: I mean these are environments where, yes, you want people 251 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: in space to want to eat because sometimes there's less 252 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: of an appetite there. But but ultimately you know, survival 253 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: food right well, And so that just made me think 254 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: about the parallels between the Uncanny Valley and smell racams 255 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: for food, right because there are some people who will 256 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: say the Uncanny Valley isn't as uncanny or creepier as 257 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: we think. You know, see a robot that's supposed to 258 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: look like a human or act like a human, or 259 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: move like a human and they don't because they are 260 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: not in it unsettles us. But we get used to things. 261 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: I mean, new food is uncanny Valley when you first 262 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: have it, like you know, have Thai food for the 263 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: first time, and you'll be like, this is a little uncanny, 264 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: but you know you'll love it in a week. So 265 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: guarantee you guaranteed. All Right, we're gonna take a quick 266 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: break and when we come back, we're gonna talk even 267 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: more about the future of three D printing and we're 268 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: going to talk about four D printing. All Right, we're 269 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: back and we're gonna talk here about four D printing. 270 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: And just to be clear, the term four D printing 271 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: is a it's a little bit of science headline bait. 272 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: It's misleading. Yeah, it's it's it looks great in the headline, 273 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: but when you really get down to the meat of it, 274 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: it's not. You're not really printing in space and time, 275 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: no more than you're always printing in space and time. 276 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: It's kind of like three D printing on steroids. Um. 277 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: And what we're talking about, we're talking about for D 278 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: printing is passive self assembly systems, which is still pretty 279 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: odd them. Don't let me underplay it. It's very cool. 280 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: Self assembly m I T. Researcher Skylar Tipbitts is sort 281 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: of the face of this right now in terms of 282 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: self assembly. And when I talk about it being on steroids, 283 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about its allowing three D printers allowing to 284 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: print parts to self assemble and reassemble into a number 285 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: of products. So each part would be comprised of a 286 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: regular rigid plastic layer along with an outer layer made 287 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: up smart materials, not dumb ones. And then when they're 288 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: submerged in water, the smart materials absorb and they expand 289 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: and they cause the parts to move and form a 290 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: pre specified object. It's like if you're wearing kite jeans 291 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: and then you, and then you get reined on really 292 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: heavy layer. You fall in a swimming pool, and then 293 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: they start to shrink up, and then you were your 294 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: your form changes and you you you go into into 295 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: like stiff legged mode because you can't move your legs anymore. 296 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: It's kind of like that the outer layer is the 297 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: gene the blue jeans, and then the inner layer is you. Yeah, well, 298 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: I mean think it's really interesting. And this is uh 299 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: from a Ted talk that you sent me that Tibbott 300 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: is talking about the future of this and what makes 301 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: no sense so much sense. He's saying that currently we 302 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: build skyscrapers with about five hundred thousand into one million parts, 303 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: which all told takes about two years. And that's not 304 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: even counting the dead gangsters in the concrete exactly or 305 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: the vampires, um. And then he says though that we 306 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: should look toward natural systems to get a better idea 307 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: of how to use forty or self assembly. He says 308 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: that we have proteins that have two million types, they 309 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: can fold in ten thousand nanoseconds, and he says we 310 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: also have DNA with three billion base pairs we can 311 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: replicate in roughly an hour. So he said that out 312 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: of all this complexity complexity in our natural systems, UM, 313 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: there's still this idea that they're really efficient at what 314 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: they do, far more efficient than anything that we can build, 315 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: and far more complex than anything that we can build. 316 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: And so he says we should look towards this model 317 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: because it's it's really good, um and making something out 318 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: of as little energy as possible. Yeah, I mean, and 319 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: right now we're talking about again a little like a 320 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: three D printed stick that when the water is at 321 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: it, it it becomes a cube. But he's talking long term 322 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: the idea of the self assembly of large scale structures, 323 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: which is which is pretty phenomenal. I like how in 324 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: the talk he gets a little philosophic too and talks 325 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: about ultimately objects that have desire. Not only do we 326 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: desire them, but they have they have a desire in 327 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: the sense that there is something that they will be. 328 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it gets a little we want Yeah, when 329 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: you get into one. I mean, it's kind of like 330 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: when you're talking about memory, like say a spring having 331 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: memory of spring. It doesn't have memory in the sense 332 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: that we speak of it, but it does have engineering, uh, 333 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: in a physics level of memory. And this would be 334 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: that same level of desire. So you could also argue 335 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: to say, my earbuds always have a desire to break 336 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: after one year. Well, this is uh. This kind of 337 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: goes back to Susan Black when she talks about Dawkins. 338 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: She talks about memes and how humans are just meme machines, right, 339 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: We're meant to communicate certain messages and over and over 340 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: again and just spread the memes. But then she says 341 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: technology is really the thing that we're spreading. So that's 342 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: why she plays on teams UM And so I think 343 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: about this in that instance, like we are creating UM 344 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: the technology to ultimately reproduce itself and brings us back 345 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: into the world of nanotech. But I was gonna say, really, 346 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: at a very small scale, which is now um possible 347 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: in nano three D printing, I cause you're talking about 348 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 1: really fine resolutions that enable the creation of intricately structured sculptures. 349 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: Is tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny as a grain of sand. 350 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: There's actually a great video we'll we'll try to remember 351 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: to post this, but it shows that in fifty seconds 352 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: this aircraft is created through a nano three D printer, 353 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: and if you look at it through obviously there's like 354 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,719 Speaker 1: magnified and you see the details and it is perfectly scale. 355 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: It's it's a beautiful rendering and it is an object 356 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: and it is as big as a tiny grain of salt. Yeah. 357 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: I mean it comes back into again to what I've 358 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: been talking about with the idea of building things with 359 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: the smallest parts possible. The more that the smaller that 360 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: the building blocks, the more power you have over the structure, 361 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: over the ultimate finished product. It's like with legos. Think 362 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: back to the legos you had when you were really young, 363 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: whether it were kind of big and and boxy because 364 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: it would be harder to fit in your mouth, and 365 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: then the smaller legos you eventually grew into, which one 366 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: would which blocks allow you to create the more detailed 367 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: model the smaller blocks of course, of course. And then 368 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: when you think about something that we mentioned before, the 369 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: gaming controllers, in which there's the ability to throw down 370 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: to lay down electronics and those objects that are three 371 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: D printed, and you look at nano printing and you 372 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: know it's just a matter of time where you can 373 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: get the same sort of electronics into the object. Then 374 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: you start to think more about what does the future 375 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: look like long term sicky years from now. Um, it's 376 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: not just about creating nano printed scaffolding to grow tissue 377 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: on or to use in other nano manufacturing parts. There 378 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: is a real ability to say, create a robot that 379 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: is at the nano scale and what happens then, well, 380 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 1: then we have the idea that we have machines that 381 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: can repair themselves. We have we have structures that can 382 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: repair themselves, buildings that can heal, bridges that can build themselves, 383 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: little tiny robots that can peek into your private life. 384 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: We're talking about this the other day when we're shooting 385 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,239 Speaker 1: a video. Yeah, we were just saying that, Um, I mean, 386 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: how do you combat that we have your own little 387 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: army of nano robots system really of nanobots to protect 388 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: your privacy and your interests. And we all kind of lit. 389 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: We're just all crawling with them like fleas that we 390 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: just and maybe they're also programmed to cut our hair 391 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: and to groom ourselves, which is nice, it's lovely. Um. 392 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: Other considerations. We talked about this when we talked about 393 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: the atropasy, and this is the idea of we are 394 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: now in the age of man and that human activity 395 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: has left a stratigraphic signal in the soil and scars 396 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: in the earth, chemical signatures, etcetera. Yeah, and we find 397 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: this an ice cores. Right, there's data retreat from glacial 398 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: ice cores that show the beginning of a growth in 399 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: atmospheric concentrations of several greenhouse gases, in particular CEO two 400 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: and c H four. And the starting date actual actually 401 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: coincides with James Watt's invention of a steam engine in 402 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: four So you begin to see this layer of sediment. 403 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: So the question is, you know if a human or 404 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: some other intelligent being were to look at the soil 405 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: a thousand years from now, um, and would they look 406 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: at the soil and say, ah, this is this is 407 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,239 Speaker 1: the year that they really began to use a three 408 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: D printer, because now we have this huge polymer sediment. Yeah, 409 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: this is the age in which they took all available 410 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: mass and used it to print a whole bunch of nonsense. 411 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: So you just have to and just drown themselves. And 412 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: again a come back to the idea of the Internet 413 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: vomiting into the physical world as it is as three 414 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: D printing is this gateway way by which the Internet 415 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: and all of its nonsense and all of its beauty 416 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: and all of its horror can actually take physical form well, 417 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: and you kind of think about this is another prong 418 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: in the Internet of things. We talked about the Internet 419 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,239 Speaker 1: of things being that that data is alive around us 420 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: at all times. In other words, you know, you could 421 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: have a refrigerator that could tell you if you needed 422 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: eggs or your eggs were expired. And you know, this 423 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: is just another idea of how objects play into this. 424 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: I like to think of it in terms two of 425 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: our work print printer, Like, think of all the things 426 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: that you find printed out that people have forgotten about. 427 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: You find like say, um, detailed tax information, legal information, 428 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: personal information, private correspondences, recipes, work Once I found that 429 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: somebody had written and it wasn't me, somebody else in 430 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: the office had written um, like a large portion of 431 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: like a sci fi novel. So things just sitting there 432 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: on the on the on the printer. If we had 433 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: three D printers, what kind of stuff would you find 434 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: they're just sitting sitting there on the desk or clogged 435 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: up in the printer. Would you find like, by the way, 436 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: we're not giving anything away when we say that someone 437 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: wrote a chunk of sci fi novel here because there 438 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: there's a good many people here. I can't even narrow 439 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: down who it might have been at the time, but 440 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: the manifesto on popcorn there's only one person. But but 441 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: just think, you know, you would go to the printer 442 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: and then there's somebody has printed out, you know, a 443 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: size perfect dress for themselves that they were going to 444 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: wear that night and left early and forgot to pick up. 445 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: Someone printed out some sort of rather personal, um adult 446 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: device that you know, they could be fired for. Someone 447 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: else printed out just a toy that that that was interesting. Oh, 448 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: they needed to know the action figure to go on 449 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: their death, so they printed out eight of them by 450 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: accident by accidentally hitting the button eight times. I mean, 451 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: you can just go on and on. I know, I'm 452 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: just trying to figure out if this is glorious? Are awful? 453 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: I know that's a little but that's the question we 454 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: always ask the technology and and probably yeah, it's a 455 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: little column may, a little column B. Yeah. All right, 456 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: Well there you go a little more stuff to blow 457 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: your mind there with three D printing and for D printing. 458 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: And we would love to hear from everyone, what are 459 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: your thoughts on on the future of three D and 460 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: fort D printing. How do you think it's going to 461 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: change our lives? How would it change your life? How 462 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: do you think it's going to change manufacturing? How do 463 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: you think it's going to change the business. How do 464 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: you think it's gonna weigh the change the way we 465 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: interact with objects and to what extent are personalized like 466 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: handcrafted objects. I mean, I can't imagine it would go away. 467 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: There's still gonna be a value for things that are 468 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: created in the old ways that things are complete, that 469 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: are created by hand. You know, it'll be the same 470 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: way that people are willing into craft beers. People will 471 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: still be into the idea of of, say a miniature 472 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: that was created with mold rather than a three D printer. 473 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: But at the same time, will intellectually intellectual property Will 474 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: that become a really archaic term? Yeah, The legal ramifications 475 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: are are crazy enough themselves. So hey, let us know 476 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: what you think. You can find us on face Book, 477 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: you can find us on tumbler. We are stuff to 478 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 1: blow your mind on both of those, and also check 479 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: us out on Twitter, where our handle is is blow 480 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: the mind, and we there's different content on all three 481 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: of those so so they don't think that they're all 482 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: just replications with the same material. And you can always 483 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: drop us a line at blow the Mind at Discovery 484 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: dot com for more on this and thousands of other topics. 485 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: Does It How Stuff Works dot com
