Comment on 3D printing could reduce raw material needs by 90%parent

Comments

Even once we get a printer that's easy enough for 'normal' people to use (hard) and a way for them to design the prints that go in the machine (hard)

People won't be designing things themselves, they'll be downloading files and then pressing 'print' on their computer. It's like how people share funny pictures, links get sent around and viewed.

Some of us are already doing that. Check thingiverse.com for example.
