So imagine you had an art project due the next week and you hadn’t started a damn thing. You also happened to be studying in/next to the desert. This printer will, meeting all the above conditions, solve your problems immediately. Not only does it use the Sun’s power to operate the printing motion, but it will also melt sand into the glass required for printing. After that, stick in a design from a 3D modeling program for anything from an ornate bottle to a full figurine of the Venus de Milo and bam, you’re done.

Well, that said, the printer’s not quiiiite at the level of reproducing the Venus de Milo yet. Wait a couple years for that one.
