This video from the BBC provides an introduction to 3D printing, including the process of being scanned and 3D printed. The video also considers the challenges that will inevitably arise when 3D printing becomes common, including object piracy and the transformation of manufacturing. There’s even a quick interview with designer Sir James Dyson, but the highlight for us was presenter Jeremy Paxman’s sequence at the end where he seems to know absolutely nothing about 3D printing. Enjoy!
