Printers Expand Into New Product Areas

Printers print newspapers, magazines, books, and other similar products. Two articles have recently convinced me just how limiting this statement is and that I should expand my view of what is possible. A recent report on The World’s First 3D-Printed Car made me wonder why needed the big automobile manufacturers. We just need more 3D-Printers. I think for my first project I will print out a snow blower, since I live in Minnesota.

Another report describes Orbiting 3D-Printers Could Print Out New Space Stations. This printer sounds like just the item for my home office.

These articles have made me realize that I do not need to buy more stuff. I just need a 3-D printer. With this printer, I could print out everything I need and probably even some stuff I don’t need, as well. What do you think? What would you print, if you could?
