This type of system has the potential to allow users to design or download a specific wire-based project and precisely create its individual components. And it creates the possibility to create skeletal frameworks for 3-D printers to build on
Modeled after a Nerf gun--but with 200,000 volts under the hood
By this point, prototyping machines like 3-D printers have taken their place alongside hammers, sewing machines and screwdrivers on the DIYer’s tool bench.
It has long been possible to make a gun at home. But what happens when it no longer takes knowledge and skill to build one?
