Innovations in 3D printing: a 3D overview from optics to organs

This article discusses the potential for 3D printing to revolutionize manufacturing in the same way as the printing press revolutionized conventional printing. The applications and limitations of 3D printing are discussed; the production process is demonstrated by producing a set of eyeglass frames from 3D blueprints. The article also explores the potential uses of 3D printing in medicine, including ophthalmology, and the possibility of printing organs.
