Star Trek Replicator Roots?

Captain Log 2011; There is no doubt that many great inventions have roots in science fiction, particularly Star Trek seems to inspire many a young inventor.

3d Printing and Model Making reminds users of that great 23rd century invention, the Replicator. You may not be able to produce Romulan Ale, in fact Ironically, 3d printing may not end up being used to make dinner but there are certainly applications in medicine, mechanics, engineering and even space shuttles. Certainly desktop manufacturing is a huge leap forward into the future. Perhaps one day it will help us design our first Warp engine.
