Well, we knew it was going to happen eventually. However, read just how much goes into the testing of these. I'm curious as to what everyone's thoughts are on this. Anybody up to give some feedback on this?

We'll this looks a bit different then the M-79 I used. I think the 3-D printer technology has and will continue to have major impacts our lives. Some of the new technology is truly right out of the sci-fi world. The new resin based printers are incredible with resolution down to 25 microns layer thickness. Don't be supersized at what you'll see next.

Nanoengineers 3-D print biomimetic blood vessel networks
Nanoengineers have 3-D printed a lifelike, functional blood vessel network that could pave the way toward artificial organs and regenerative therapies. The new research addresses one of the biggest challenges in tissue engineering: creating lifelike tissues and organs with functioning vasculature -- networks of blood vessels that can transport blood, nutrients, waste and other biological materials -- and do so safely when implanted inside the...

I heard of these 3D printers maybe 5yrs. ago but not much since !!! Dont know anything about them and they dont seem practical .. Thats just my opinion at the moment which is conducive to change once I can notice Its usefulness ... Thats a pretty neat looking Grenade launcher and thanks for the post !!!

I understand the skepticism until it becomes battle tested. I would hope that the people designing it would approach it the same way.
