It&#8217;s a 4-D smart material printed object that doesn&#8217;t just change one way but actually calculates probabilities to figure out the best way to transform itself to solve problems. It may in fact replicate similar objects in a variety of ways with a variety of designs to determine he best one either on it&#8217;s own or by humans testing the end products. Naturally such 5-D material would have amazing microscopic computers as they attempt to perform parallel Universe like functions playing out various mathematical probabilities. More complicated printing tasks would be performed by nanobots in the future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00NA00MWS\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00NA00MWS&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=galaxyfleet-20&amp;linkId=KFPKUCO6IMPRNTV4\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B00NA00MWS&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=galaxyfleet-20\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\">Related articles across the web<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 104px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0 5px 10px 0;\"><a style=\"padding: 2px; display: block; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/myscienceacademy.org\/2015\/03\/17\/revolutionary-3-d-printing-technology-uses-light-and-oxygen-to-synthesize-materials-from-a-pool-of-liquid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 100px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/332058124_150_150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" href=\"http:\/\/myscienceacademy.org\/2015\/03\/17\/revolutionary-3-d-printing-technology-uses-light-and-oxygen-to-synthesize-materials-from-a-pool-of-liquid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Revolutionary 3-D Printing Technology Uses Light And Oxygen To Synthesize Materials From A Pool Of Liquid<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 104px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0 5px 10px 0;\"><a style=\"padding: 2px; display: block; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.anglianhome.co.uk\/goodtobehome\/home-technology\/2030-home-life-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 100px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/264512607_150_150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.anglianhome.co.uk\/goodtobehome\/home-technology\/2030-home-life-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In 2030 your Home will be watching you<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 104px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0 5px 10px 0;\"><a style=\"padding: 2px; display: block; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.anglianhome.co.uk\/goodtobehome\/home-technology\/how-will-windows-be-designed-for-our-space-homes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 100px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/AUvkRPZRrR41LCYNCiAz_150_150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.anglianhome.co.uk\/goodtobehome\/home-technology\/how-will-windows-be-designed-for-our-space-homes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How Will Windows be Designed for our Space Homes?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is 3-D Printing?
