Re: The Star Trek replicator

And here's the prototype food replicator

BBC News - CES 2014: 3D food printers create sweets and chocolates

Ok, so its not beef wellington with trimmings, its just a funny shaped sweet..but



Human organs, prosthetics, false teeth, aeroplane parts, an app that uses photos taken from your phone to create a 3D representation on a home printer.

NASA is working on a 3D printer that can show outer space to the blind, and feed astronauts on long haul missions.

The prototype star trek replicator is already here. The engineering and manufacturing industry is about to go the way of the blacksmith, thatcher and wheelwright.
