Lindenwood University Professors Andrew Smith & Jason Lively present thought-provoking community discussion:
3-D printing is poised to become one of the most impacting new technologies in our digital era. The ability to quickly and easily duplicate physical objects will compromise manufacturing and copyright while also pushing the boundaries of creative expression. During this engaging discussion, we’ll examine possible ramifications of this technology and also cite significant milestones in its brief history, such as the Wikiweapons movement and websites like Shapeways.com.
