“The possibilities of print have just begun. In two years, I hope this looks like cellphones did in 1982, or car phones.”

Science fiction readers have been looking forward to this development for a long time, and can give us an idea of what this technology will look like in coming years. For example, writer Greg Bear had a very clear view of the Esquire E-ink cover in 2003 in "Darwin's Children." He wrote about e-paper covers with speaker chips.

The future is NOW !!!!!!!

Print me some solar panels, I need them now.

The cover will have enough energy to run for about 90 days.

I wonder what will happen after these 90 days pass?

It's off to the landfill...

It's off to the landfill...

Most likely. People can design a product for use, but forget to factor in a lifecycle or end use really piss me off.

When you settlle for less, less is what you get. Print me a linear motor.

LoPhatt, did you know they are printing microchips now?
So don't worry it is all on the way

With the new 3 d printers and this technology there is no end to what they can replicate for me. ~<>~

I use an FDM 400 at my wifes work. I only have to pay for my material use, it's awesome. Already made 6 prototypes for pocket change.
