I know it sounds like a crazy claim, but there is a serious project out there that wants to turn your cellphone into a 3-D printer. And it will cost $99. Watch the video above to see this project in action (and you still have time to buy one through the KickStarter!). 3-D printing is starting to come down in price, but the big question is how flexible will it become, and how will people use it in everyday life? By flexibility, I mean things like color and material. Its cool to print some trinkets in one color, but when will we see colors available? And what about things that have different materials, like metal and plastic? Someday hopefully. The other problem is how to use it in everyday life. Sure, you can print up some one time cool things, but then what? I think this OLO is one way to look at how to practically use it – 3-D messaging. The other side is to give people the ability to make things and send it to others. I see that as a better use for education.
