HERE’S A RECAP OF GLENN BECK’S AWESOME NEW 3D PRINTER: THE IMPLICATIONS AND WHAT HE PLANS TO MAKE
“This is Napster. This is Napster for physical things,” Beck said, comparing the capabilities of the printers to the music pirating website that for a short time allowed users to illegally download music they hadn’t paid for.
During the program, the MakerBot replicator 2 was printing a miniature shark, the standard object it makes as a test print to show you that everything is working properly. The team scanned the skull that sits on Beck’s desk for 3D printing and a gun as well.
“Not a working gun,” Beck pointed out. “But you can make weapons with this. You can make anything with this. This is going to be highly, highly regulated. This changes everything. There are no patents anymore.”
