How 3D Technology Is Changing Product Development
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2010-10-26/how-3d-technology-changing-product-development
The printer as we know it is a strictly two-dimensional technology, depositing ink onto flat surfaces like paper. But new innovations are making it possible to “print” objects in three dimensions-- layering resin, plastic composites, and metal-- to make everything from furniture to prosthetic limbs. Tech Tuesday explores the cutting edge of 3-D printing, and examines how this new technology could transform assumptions about medicine, manufacturing and economics.

Listeners might also be interested in a 3D printer kit available from www.makerbot.com and also a DC area organization, HacDC (http://hacdc.org/), with the same printer. - Glen K. www.dcinventors.org
Great show! So glad @AMTDA_Bytes tweeted about it!
Here's a link to the Rapid Technologies & Additive Manufacturing Community from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers that Dr. Rouse mentioned near the end of the interview. www.sme.org/rtam.
Also, the next Rapid and 3D Conference will be in Minneapolis May 24-26. More info on that can be found here: www.sme.org/rapid.
