After explaining how a 3D printer works, we are going to show you a very nice application of this new technology.
This was presented at The Special Needs Education School for the Visually Impaired in Japan. Yahoo got together with the creative agency Hakuhodo Kettle Tokyo to create a new machine that helps blind kinds search for objects on the internet.
As you will be able to see on the video, the kids will tell the machine what they want to see and the machine will 3D print it for them so they can feel it with their hands and create a picture of whatever they asked for in their heads.
Initiatives like this one make 3D printing technology have a lot of potential in the medium-long run.
