The topic of 3D printing is all over the news this year. It’s revolutionary technology to change the way things are made. I must confess I had a moment of extreme slowness when I first heard of the technology. I pictured 3D glasses, lasers all wrapped up in some strange-looking contraption. (My brain is soaked […]
