3D Printing Revolution - How it will change everything

There's been a lot of hoo haa on 3D printing technology in the papers and local media in the past few months. I know nuts about it. So I went to YouTube to research on a quick summary

Here's my favorite video among all the rest. It's simple and easy to understand. Very well edited and crafted. Some of the other videos can get very dry when they're trying to explain the terms, or become too technical. This video sums it up very well. And you can grasp most of what you'll need to know about 3D printing in 3 minutes. 





Some pictures and excerpts from the Video


"Think of it like making Sliced bread, but in reverse!
After putting one layer down, another is built on top of
that, and so on, until the whole loaf of bread is put together!"

"Things like prosthetic limbs can have completely customized
user designs, as opposed to generic mass produced products."

"In the future, you might be able to ask Siri to 3D-print a meal,
perfected for your palette."

Key takeaways and what I've learnt:

1. 3D printers uses material such as plastic, metal, or concrete to form a 3 Dimensional object.

2. It has advanced medical technology. You can 3D print a pill like Panadol!

4. Concept iPhone 6 with a curved display

Nicholas Lamm and Matteo Gianni interested in spy shots GSM Arena, created the concept of the new iPhone 6. The device is part of the front and back, and tapered with almost no edges.



A similar idea has already been launched by Samsung last week (9 Oct 2013)>
Instead of the convex (protruding outwards) design, it is con-caved (protruding inwards).
Read about it here: http://singpost.blogspot.sg/2013/10/samsung-galaxy-round-curved-display.html



On the site, it's stated that "Apple has a new patent for a similar device:"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Curved Body iPhone 6 Concept:

Similar to the idea above. The back body is slighly curved for a better grip.
But the front display is flat.

I think it would be similar to the feel of holding a sliced mango.
