3D printers coming, thanks to heat-sensitive paper.

Physicists in Israel have made an important discovery, one which will keep kids (and acid-trippers) amused and ink cartridges dry for a very long time. By heating special paper to 33*C, Israeli physicists have managed to manipulate the paper into 3-dimensional designs such as sombreros. There is no word as to when we can expect to see this technology out for consumer use.

They'll be amused as long as they have the cash to keep buying that "special paper"... which would probably cost a small fortune.

Interesting news though :D
