1．Have you ever had dreams about building a robot？Or putting together a spaceship？Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate？Done.All you need is a 3-D printer!
The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless.All the user has to do is to design（設(shè)計(jì)）an object on the computer and choose a material（材料） to print in.The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass，sugar and even skin!When the user presses "print"，the 3-D printer spreads the material layer（層）by layer and like magic the object is produced.
The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American，Charles Hull.But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use.Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things.The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges.And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts!The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.
But like a lot of new technologies，if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands，it can be dangerous.In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers （提款機(jī)盜刷器）.These were placed on an ATM and stole over ﹩400，000 from users of the ATM.It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.
But for better or for worse，3-D printing has been put into use.In a few years，you'll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!
