The Future of 3D Printing

Technology that will enable 3D printers to self-replicate is currently being developed as we speak. A Canadian university has taken it upon themselves to make this possible. Can you imagine having one 3D printer sent to the moon, and then have it replicate itself a thousand times over? The possibilities are endless with this technology.

Moon bases could potentially be built by autonomous robots and machines without another human being ever having to step foot on the surface of the moon. As of now, one of the most difficult parts to print when it comes to a self-replicating 3D printer is the motor. Many 3D printers that exist today can print their own parts, but almost none can print a fully functioning motor to power the newly created printer. Once this wall is broken through, there will be massive advancements made in all kinds of fields. Imagine the possibilities...
