The World's First 3-D Printing Vending Machine in Action

Much has been written about the world's first 3-D printing vending machine, the Dreambox, since it was built three months ago by a group of UC Berkeley students. 

While the Dreambox aims to make 3-D printing convenient and accessible to everyone, many users are having problems picking up their item once the printing is actually done. 

"I didn't receive my locker code until four days after it was finished printing," said UC Berkeley sophomore, Matthew Deng. 

In each locker cabinet, there are dozens of items waiting to be picked up. 

Furthermore, the tablet on the vending machine is not functioning, which means you have to put in your order wirelessly through a laptop or phone. 

Nonetheless, watching the printer move back and forth behind the glass panel is entertaining, to say the least.

So watch the video to see a 3-D infinity knot materialize before your eyes, one web of plastic at a time!
