[Nfb-krafters-korner] Machine that can print clothes

[qubit]

Now that's an interesting one...
The first time I heard of the 3D printer it was already being used for a 
variety of things, the most useful for me being printing 3D tactile pictures 
for science and other textbooks.
What I found most interesting was that the printers were already on the 
market for a cost starting at under $500.  When you compare that to the cost 
of braille embossers, it is amazing.
Happy krafting.  Maybe we'll all be printing after a few years...;) We'll 
have to change the name of the list to nfb-printerskorner

I thought some might be interested in the below link. I didn't watch the
video, but it sounds interesting enough. 3d printing is becoming more and
more widespread, so maybe this type of machine might become available to us
sooner rather than later.
Now I am already wondering if it will be accessible without sight?
