3D printing is a new and thrilling technology that is driving the advancement of the robotics industry.
Many have sense that 3D printers are very useful for printing various useful objects, but only a few understand the potential this technology presents in regards to robotics. The link above demonstrates 3D printing can create highly complex parts with movement capability.
We also see the same technology transferring over to the world of human robots.
Taking this a step further, we see that 3D printing can also be used in robotic prosthetic limbs.
The Kickstarter website has made is possible for entrepreneurs to enter new levels of technology and innovation through 3D printing. This link contains a video that shows how quickly 3D printing is advancing in the world of robotic prosthetics.
