FUTURE FUTURES Even for those archetypal, DIY garage inventors, they can now download free design tools like Blender or Google s SketchUp to create 3D renderings of their product, then purchase online the manufacturing equipment (which have fallen in price from the hundred thousands to a few thousand, e.g. MakerBot) they would need to build their products at home or in their rented space. www.singularityu.org www.makerbot.com Customised 3D-printed appendages let Emma Lavelle play alongside her friends with new freedom http://cnet.co/ojaptu
