"Imagine a scenario where you go to Ikea and buy a chair, put it in your room and it self-assembles," is this supposed to be a joke? what a bullshit example..

MIT has been churning out fluff pieces for the press on 3D printing and self-assembling nano crap for the last decade or two, and that shit is still weak sauce

there are ways to visualize things beyond three dimensions. takes a bit of focus, though, as it's one of those things that requires building up a house of cards in your mind.

"oh my god 3D printing is going to change the world" -- well, it could, if it weren't so complicated, and still in a very nascent stage of the development. they can't do electronics, and you still have to do manual assembly for anything more complicated than a statuette.
the machines cost thousands, so you need to go to a craft store and rent time on one. to make a crappy one at home, you need to be the sort of chap that takes builds robots for a hobby.
it's seductive to talk about downloading the latest nike kicks off piratebay each week, how the machines will spread like wildfire after becoming capable of replicating (one 3D printer making other 3D printers). how we can make "4D" things... but it's going to be stuck in labs and basements until walmart invests, or the machines become a cheap appliance like a washing machine.... and do electronics, and complicated machines, etc.
short term, i do suppose it's good for making custom cogs and gears quick, and you'll love that if you make robots from old VCR parts etc.

its not printing, its not 4d. its not 4d printing. its a material with an apparent physical memory.

certain bits absorb water, other bits don't. add water, the water-absorbing bits expand, the other bits remain rigid. boom, 3D-jointed object. it's not future science, it's one of those little capsules you put into the bathtub and watch turn into a duck

What is it with this place and people saying "poop"? I mean who the fuck says "poop"? Yet it's like a quarter of the current XLT crowd use the word and seem to absolutely love it.
