3D printer
Nowadays, the printer is something so taken for granted, next to the computer, that we don't even think about it often. It ended years ago, when the first 3D printers began to appear, with which many interesting things could be printed. 3D printers will offer new possibilities in development and industry, and already in 2019 a 3D printed car.
Do you have a small office that is dwarfed by large machines? Those times are over. The company New Matter has produced a 3D printer that is just big enough to be placed on a desk. In fact, you will be proud to display it as it has a very futuristic look.
The construction of residential buildings is usually accompanied by the hum of construction machinery. But the house built by Apis Cor was created differently. There were no workers on the site, no sacks of cement, no bricks. It grew with the help of a 3D printer.
There are no barriers to 3D printers. With the help of 3D printing, practically everything can be produced today. Even the bridge! This was proven by the Spanish Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, which built the world's first bridge made with the help of a 3D printer in the Castilla-La Mancha park in Alcobendas.
Gone are the days when we associated printers only with printing ink on paper! The company AP Works recently presented the Light Rider electric motorcycle, which is made with the help of a 3D printer. It is the first motorcycle of its kind, which gives it an ultra-light construction. It weighs a mere 35 kilograms!
All those of you who were worried about losing your Apple Airpods wireless headphones while wearing them can rest easy. At least the female part of the audience. At M3D, they have produced earrings in the form of a mini piece, which promises to catch the earpiece if it falls out of your ear.
LM3D Swim is the first printed car intended for mass production. Most of its parts were contributed by a 3D printer. 3D printers (which allow the rapid creation of a physical model based on a computer model) are becoming more and more popular, and their utility is expanding like a balloon. But the fact that we will be printing cars with them already in 2015 seemed a bit too optimistic anyway. But Local Motors pleasantly surprised us and presented the electric car LM3D Swim, which you will be able to drive already in 2017.
Quite a few car brands have already tried their hand at making cars with 3D printers, but no manufacturer has yet printed a supercar. San Francisco startup Divergent Microfactories has now signed the first super sports car, and the first super sports car made with a 3D printer is called Blade.
PancakeBot is the first real pancake "printer". The smart pancake batter sprayer makes 3D prints of sketches and bakes pancakes in shapes we usually only dream of. The result is delicious art that is currently fighting for existence on Kickstarter.
Attention all chocolate lovers. We present to you the most sophisticated desktop chocolate factory Choc Creater V2 3D at the moment.

Together with the device, we also get all the necessary ingredients to make this "food of the gods", but clearly not in unlimited quantities.
Just as Henry Ford transformed the automobile industry in the 20th century, Local Motors plans to revolutionize the car manufacturing process with its first 3D-engineered car. The Strati was supposed to represent a milestone in the vehicle production process and indicate the direction of production development in the automotive industry.
