Just as libraries have evolved to include such work spaces, 3D printing is evolving as well. Will your library be expected to be able to print out a house, sweater or electronics? Here's a roundup of some new innovations that you may be wanting for your library's makerspace in the not-so-far future.</p><p style="text-align:justify;font-size:16px;font-family:arial;line-height:110%"><br></p><div> </div>

They aren’t ready for prime time, but in the long term, printing your own memory cells could help democratize electronics just like 3-D printers did for hardware."</li>
