The future might hold many things for the world. However, we are living in the world with something that sheds light on the near future. This is 3d printing. Through 3d printing we can achieve some great things in the world and in this project we were able to get a sense for how the world might be in the future.

RESEARCH
When I started with research I found some basic information to start with. For ecample, I found out that based on what you want 3d Printed, the duration could take up to 3 hours or more, or just a couple of minutes. The cost for these parts can range as less as $5 to $500. All you really needed was an STL file from CAD. The material can be from plastic to other variations of that. i even found out about a startup that was trying to 3d print clothes!

CAD DRAWING
I ordered this part and got it on Sunday. It was very prompt and did feel on the smaller side. However, that is my mistake because I should've made it larger, but this is fine for me because it still makes a nice paper weight or souvenir.  I think working drawings and words can be used to design things in the world. Now even though 3d Printing has many pros, some of its cons include how it can be used for nefarious purposes, but other than that I do not see anything too wrong with it and I truly believe it is the future of the world. The cost for this is very high now, but I trust it will go down as it becomes more popular.
