When I did my internship at Futura Design and finally had a chance to properly witness the benefits of 3D printing machines, I remember being fascinated at how they were able to print separate components even as intricate as customised screws of sorts and was left wondering why, if it's possible to print things to such a level of detail and functionality, why we can't use 3D printing machines to print the end product rather than just a prototype. I came to the conclusion that obviously the material used to print 3d objects isn't strong enough to warrant it being used as an end product. Turns out however, such machines actually exist, just think what the impact of this could be!
