Instead of bashing, bending and cutting material the way it always has been, 3D printers build things by depositing material, layer by layer.
These printers use something like a toothpaste tube of plastic or other material held vertically in an X-Y plotter that squirts out thin layers of tiny dots of material that build up, layer by layer, to produce a 3D replica of the computer-generated design.
FORBES: Why I Believe That This Will Be The Most Innovative Decade In History
Backfill: material used to build up and consolidate the land behind a seawall or similar structure.
Multi-function composites could also reduce the amount of wiring in vehicles, says Dr Greenhalgh, allowing the rear lights, for example, to be powered by the material used to build the boot.
They will build applications for checking on raw material levels, calculating machine runs and logging in man-hours.
Magnetic levitation technology, which currently powers high speed trains in places like Japan and Europe, could potentially be used to build a railroad capable of launching material into space, according to a report by Gizmag.
The technology works by building up layer upon layer of material - typically plastic - to build complex solid objects.
Until now, if a developer was granted planning permission they had to start the build within five years but once a "material start" had been made there was no time limit on its completion.
It took further centuries to harness the results of System Two thinking to build a complex technological society that delivers unprecedented material benefits to populations so large that millions would perish if advanced technologies that are commonplace today, and magic to most people, were to disappear.
The platforming felt quite a bit less polished and clunkier, though the material we previewed was not a finished build.
FORBES: 'Star Trek: The Video Game' - Some Hands-On First Impressions
By making it easy to cut wood or other material, the saw allowed humans to build everything from simple shelters to vast skyscrapers, and to harvest forests.
Solar cells, which convert light to electricity, have long relied on silicon, the same material upon which companies such as IBM and Intel build computer chips.
One of the things you know is that when people fool with these weapons, they're expensive to build, expensive to maintain, and expensive to secure the material that goes into making the weapons.
WHITEHOUSE: Press Briefing with President Obama and President Clinton
That gives the material strength, as there are fewer places for stress to build up and fractures to form than in hydroxyapatite made haphazardly of larger, more heterogeneous grains.
Our audience even includes some young people who want to build a business in their future and along with their parents find our material great educational content in that growth.
With the help of advanced computer technology used to design fighter planes, he has been able to calculate structure, curvature, material and cost so accurately that forms impossible to create and build through traditional methods can now be brought in on budget and on time.

But no one will build you one of these plants to make the 20%, high enriched material.
FORBES: Trying An Educated Guess Over This Iran And The Bomb Thing
The build is wonderful, and the leather cushions on the cups changes to a cloth material on the part that rests on your skin.
In additive manufacturing, material is added in small layers, cross section by cross section, to build a part.
Accordingly, Dr Lin and his colleagues tried to build up covalent bonds between the layers of a water-repellent, or hydrophobic, material called cellulose acetate butyrate, which is used to make water-resistant fabrics.
The idea was to check whether the animals would rather build a nest in the cooler cage or move to the warmer one, possibly tugging nesting material along with them strand by strand.
Iran denies it is trying to build a nuclear weapon and has taken steps in recent months to reduce its stores of high-level nuclear material.
They argue that recent aerodynamic, electronic and material development advances in Japan point to the existence of the appropriate technical skills necessary for Japan to build the FS-X without U.S. participation.

The "silent mutations" - changes in genetic material - are likely to have no obvious impact on older fathers' own children, but they may build up through subsequent generations, or interact with other genes and environmental factors, to increase the chance of their grandchildren developing the condition, the researchers say.
