Hi All-

This week for our blog we will be talking about 3D printing.

Please read two of the articles below and tell me if you agree or disagree with the article. Do you think you would use a 3-D printer and where do you see the use of the 3D printer going or will be one of the technologies that had a big hype with little to no use. Feel free to give me any other thoughts on the subject.
