I am always checking with the vehicle of 3d printing as a whole everything can look shiny on the outside. New areas, new innovations and mergers. Their was even a glancing mention of it in the state of the union address Tuesday night. That's not the pennacle of 2014 for 3d printing.
I noticed a glaring deficiency in the amount of academic grants pushing the industry forward. Corporate innovation and Maker innovation are great but rather in an emphasis to stimulation. One area that will not be receiving that emphasis is the 3d printing of organs. Legislation is in the works that could ban this activity by 2016. I am not sure of the legal difference between cloning, stem cell research and 3d printed organs in the United States. But if you want to stay on the correct side of United States law your best bet is to look overseas for innovation in these cases. Academic grants should be used as guides before legislation is necessary.
