GAMBIT PAGE 09 3D Printers This isn’t the first time we’ve written about 3D Printers, and it likely won’t be the last This isn’t the first time we’ve written about 3D Printers, and it likely won’t be the last. What started as a trendy gimmick story has since become a revolution in how products are made. Even skull implants are getting 3D printed. Heck, 3D Printers themselves are affordable these days. Well, that’s “affordable” with very hefty air quotes. I’m not quite ready to drop $500 just so I can 3D Print an exploding Rubik’s Cube, but I take comfort in knowing I have the option. That said, with the process becoming more affordable, people of all sorts are taking a stab at producing new works of art and experimenting with the technology in new and interesting ways.
