Ola,
RepRap [http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/WebHome] has been called the invention
that will bring
down global capitalism, start a second industrial revolution and save the
environment
RepRap is short for Replicating Rapid-Prototyper.
A rapid prototyper is a machine that can manufacture 3D objects directly
(usually, though not
necessarily, in plastic) under the control of a computer.
A universal constructor is a machine that can replicate itself and - in
addition - make other
industrial products. Such a machine would have a number of interesting
characteristics, such as
being subject to Darwinian evolution, increasing in number exponentially, and
being extremely
low-cost.
The project is working towards creating a universal constructor by using rapid
prototyping, and
then giving the results away free under the GNU General Public Licence to allow
other
investigators to work on the same idea. We are trying to prove the hypothesis:
Rapid prototyping
and direct writing technologies are sufficiently versatile to allow them to be
used to make a von
Neumann Universal Constructor.
and it will print from blender :)..
