ecophage 3d printed 3d printerResearchers at Germany's Doppelbock University just opened the door to the future of rapid prototyping technology by developing the world's first 3D-printed 3D printer! Dubbed the Ecophage, the duplicitous device is capable of using readily available materials to create copies of itself - albeit at a slightly smaller scale. Best of all, it's outfitted with a built-in material re-processor that can convert virtually any carbon-based substance into filament for 3d-printing....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/scientists-create-worlds-first-3d-printed-3d-printer/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
