OPLIN 4Cast #625: 3D printing is heating up
December 19th, 2018

[image: 3D Printed Model Of Human Head] If your library is lucky enough to
have a makerspace with a 3D printer, you may already feel like you're
living in the future. However, that printer is really just the beginning of
what's possible with this technology. There's been a good number of recent
developments that may affect libraries (or, perhaps, you might hope they
won't).  From phone hacking to sex dolls, the 3D printing evolution is
moving fast.

   - MIT can shrink 3D objects down to nanoscale versions
   <https://www.engadget.com/2018/12/17/mit-nanoscale-object-shrinking/>
   [Engadget] "However, the potential is vast. The researchers suspect this
   could initially be used for creating specialized optics for science,
   microscopes and even smartphones, but it could be tremendously useful for
   nano-sized parts in robots. "
   - We Broke Into A Bunch Of Android Phones With A 3D-Printed Head

   [Forbes] "Anyone worried about anyone having their device compromised with
   a fake head, either through our method or others', should perhaps consider
   not using facial recognition at all. "
   - 3D-printed sex robots are cheaper and more lifelike than ever
   <https://thenextweb.com/syndication/2018/12/16/3d-printed-sex-robots-are-cheaper-and-more-lifelike-than-ever/>
   [The Next Web] "Until now, the traditional method for manufacturing
   silicone sex doll components is through using molds and setting casts.
   Using a 3D printer to create humanlike faces for DSDoll’s AI gynoids means
   that the assembly line process will be sped up considerably and therefore,
   the bots will be cheaper to produce."
   - To heal injured astronauts, experts want to 3D print “skin, bone and
   body parts”
   <https://futurism.com/the-byte/space-agencies-treat-astronaut-injuries-3d-printing>
   [Futurism.com] "Humans are spending more and more time in space, for
   stretches totalling months or even years at a time. But that also means
   we’ll have to address any health concerns they run into — and find ways to
   tackle medical emergencies. "
