The possibilities seem endless as we improve the techniques and find a way to seamlessly intertwine mechanics with technology to create more detailed or purposeful 3D objects. The impacts or uses for this technology is vast and seems to be ever-growing as we go about our daily lives without thinking about it. There are people and groups, even NASA, who are making designs and cartages for the printer that will make edible models of food.

On your way home you could start dinner. Going even farther into the future we could have a device on our skin that monitors the intake of certain vitamins or for diabetic people could adjust the intake of sugars to start your day.
