3d printers. Review of achievements for 2013

Prostheses for people and animals, 3D printing of space structures, food and shoes, improving printing accuracy, new materials, new software.
A bunch of projects on crowdfunding platforms.
Well, pistols, where do without them.

China, Japan, Australia, USA, Netherlands, Africa and Haiti, it seems that 3D printing is in all corners of the world.
In 2014, the 3d print will go into space.
(An overview of the achievements of 3D printing in 2012 here )
We read what we have achieved in 2013 under the cut ( 54 photos ).
