If you think your office printer is pretty flash, then wait ‘till you see the 3D colour printer. It can print any 3d object, simply by scanning, and then rebuilding it in full colour. It is fast, realistic, and not much more expensive than a regular printer. It is a ‘must have’ for designers who want to see their creations come to life, but is finding a significant market in surgery, where doctors can scan a bone or an organ like the heart, and reproduce it in 3d. This allows them to conduct mock operations, or design accurate fitting prosthetics like hip and knee joints.
