My dad recently sent me this video. I think this is the single most amazing piece of technology I have encountered. It's almost like the replicator on Star Trek.
In case you don't feel like watching the video, here is a teaser that will get you interested.
Combine a 3D scanner that takes 50,000 measurements per second with a 'printer' that 'prints' a 3D model of the scanned image using plastic filament. The result is a perfect replication of the original (in plastic) even if there are moving parts. The result can be used to cast a mold to manufacture unlimited numbers.
