Never thought I'd see it....

If this blew your mind then you should know they already make organs out of 3d printers, they use cells as a building unit.

You didn't know about these. Well I should've posted this several days ago like I was contemplating.

I'm waiting for a type of printer that can make anything out of the SAME material. Or more specifically, has the ability to just use carbon molecules (Or another basic structure atom) and form anything we need.

 

Like food, water, weapon, tool.... but it must be all with just one resource, then everyone can have one such printer.

 

Otherwise these printers would be unpractical in the daily homes as we will have to need tens of them for different objects and fill them with thousands of resources we would have to buy.

Heh, that's been around a while. It must be getting quite interesting now though. A year or so ago I read about plans to send this sort of technology to the moon and such to prefabricate structures for us. They were investigating a kind of cement that can be easily made from moon surface soil.
