How an 83-Year-Old Inventor Beat the High Cost of 3D Printing
If there were an award for Emerging Gadget Most Likely to Change Everything, it might well go to the 3D printer.

The Cube 3D Printer
The Cube 3D Printer will set you back about $1,300 if you pre-order now from their online store.
"3D printers have become all the rage over the last few months, so you can expect companies to allocate plenty of resources to developing a practical 3D home printing device. The problem thus far has been making these things at an affordable price, but things are definitely looking better with the Cube.
The concept is simple. The lightweight, 8.5 pounds, printer will allow you to print literally anything you want with the help of print software of course. "

3D Printer May Someday Build Human Organs
A team of researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, led by Will Shu, has built a printer that can lay down human stem cells in tiny spheres. Printing human cells has been done before, with bone marrow or skin. Those types of cells, however, are resilient compared to the more delicate embryonic stem cells.

Low-Cost 3D Printer a Hit on Kickstarter
http://mashable.com/2012/12/31/robo-3d-printer/
Downloadable sneakers may become reality sooner than later, but for now one of the main barriers stopping 3D printers from gaining widespread appeal is the massive price tag.
The RoBo aims to change that, however -- and if early reaction on Kickstarter is any indication, this 3D printer could become a massive hit with consumers.

3D Printed Record
In an effort to boldly 3D print where no man or woman has 3D printed before, I've created a technique for converting digital audio files into 3D-printable, 33rpm records and printed a few functional prototypes. These records play on ordinary turntables with regular needles, just like any vinyl record.

3D Printing on Wikipedia

3D Printing on Wikipedia
"Additive manufacturing or 3D printing[1] is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital model.
3D printing is achieved using additive processes, where an object is created by laying down successive layers of material.
3D printing is considered distinct from traditional machining techniques (subtractive processes) which mostly rely on the removal of material by drilling, cutting etc. 3D printing is usually performed by a materials printer using digital technology.
Since the start of the twenty-first century there has been a large growth in the sales of these machines, and their price dropped substantially.
The technology is used in the fields of jewellery, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education, geographic information systems, civil engineering, and many others."
