Let's be honest - I think 3D printing is an exciting new technique - and I can picture it as a great game changer in the future. If the cost and processing come down, it might be a real inventory 'game changer' for auto shops, for replacement parts - and more. (In a previous post I talked about how they have made 3D guns)
But in this case - 3D printing saved a child's life. Seemingly Kaiba Gionfriddo (the child) has a rare condition where his air tube gets pressure from blood vessels and constricts so the child can't breathe. The hospital did modeling and a the University of Michigan designed a specialized device to keep his airways open - and they printed it with a 3D printer.
And ... all is well!!!
So ... put 3D printing on your radar - it already is a game changer for one family!!!!
