Since replicating the first hand gun in a 3D printer, technology has come a long way. Here are three videos which show the progress which has been made.
The first is of rebuilding a face after a disfiguring accident:

The second is of a robust bicycle, made all in one continuous piece.

And the last one is - wait for it - 4D printing. Whatever will they think of next?

I have mixed views about this technology, which looks set to revolutionise fields like manufacturing and medicine, to name just two. But with the threat of even bigger job loss where does that leave the human race in terms of usefulness and fulfilment?
