3d Model Making - Exciting Technology!

Think back to when you were a kid watching Star Trek and Capitan Kirk would say "computer, coffee black" and coffee would appear from thin air. Imagine having the ability to carve out or build from nothing, anything you can pull up on your computer screen.

What would this mean to the classroom? Instead of just studying pictures, you can create 3d models. Carpenters could create fantastic pieces of art for decorating. Artists can create in 3d. Architects no longer need to hire someone to spend days carving out 3d landscapes and buildings.

The future is now with 3d printing!
