Guided by a design file, a 3D printer lays down layer after layer of a raw material to 'print' out an object. That's not the whole story, however. The magic happens when you plug a 3D printer into today’s mind-boggling digital technologies. Add to that the Internet, tiny, low cost electronic circuitry, radical advances in materials science and biotech and voila! The result is an explosion of technological and social innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFabricated\u003c\/i\u003e takes the reader onto a rich and fulfilling journey that explores how 3D printing is poised to impact nearly every part of our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAimed at people who enjoy books on business strategy, popular science and novel technology, \u003ci\u003eFabricated\u003c\/i\u003e will provide readers with practical and imaginative insights to the question 'how will this technology change my life?'
