The 3D Printer

The 3D Printer

  Has anyone ever dreamed if they could try to print out something that was 3D and it would work? Well that person's dream has come true. Chuck Hull (the inventor) has created a machine to print out stuff like cups, toys, and more. Each object made from the awesome machine has the same texture as theproduct made from a factory. The 3D printer does not look like a regular printer that prints 2D objects but is still way cooler.
