3D Printing is the future in all its forms. We've rounded up the best and most useful Food 3D Printers.

A few colleagues and I were talking about developing a water transportation hands-on activity for kids using Lego. In serching for cool Lego stuff (yes, that's what I do for work) I came across this and could not contain my excitement! With a 3D printer (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing, I know of 3D printing because we have it in the dept), Carnegie Mellon Professor Golan Levin developed the Free Universal Constrauction Kit - "A collection of nearly 80 adapter bricks that enable complete interoperability between ten popular children's construction toys."
While some people were worried about legal concerns, so far none of the companies have reaised any issues with this. So until then, the models are available for download at http://fffff.at/free-universal-construction-kit/- all you will need then is to print these out with a 3D printer...

3D printers are popping up in the news more and more frequently. They can make things from food to weapons. It seems that almost anything can be built by these machines. Now there’s a new technology called Contour Crafting making its way to the forefront. Not only can this tech build an entire house; it can do it in one day.

Contour Crafting can build entire multi-level houses in under a day. An informative post by Andreas Christodoulou.

Excellent article on how 3D printing can be used for building! Wow tech!

This is where 3D Printing and BIM come together. How long before we see this in action?

Excellent work, although I'm more of a fan using Cheshire Brick at the moment... |
Great technology.
