So now that you believe me that this incredible technology already exists, you may be wondering what could 3D printing possibly be used for? Well for starters, as the New York Times Youtube video demonstrated, 3D printing technology has been used for DECADES for rapid prototyping. That said, as new technologies emerge and 3D printers decrease in price, 3D printing will soon be available to the masses. Think about it people... this could change everything you know about current manufacturing methods! Businesses could quickly and efficiently produce customizable items at the touch of a button. People no longer would have to get into their cars and drive to a store to pick up everyday consumer products, they could print off items at home! Some very credible sources have recently written articles about how this new emerging technology will change the face of manufacturing. Feel free to read some of the articles below:

The New York Times
