3D printing has recently come to the fore and I can't see any threads about it for over a year! Wakey wakey, P8nt!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/news/?q=3d printing A myriad of articles about 3D printing, including a piece on NASA, liquid metal and a working 3D printed handgun.
A Vice vid addressing some political and social issues of 3D printing, but primarily showing a Texan producing working magazines and lowers for AR-pattern rifles.
