And to think, some are pushing to digitally lock and manage 3D printing so you will have to pay before you can print!!!

"Want to know what that means in English?   The patent basically covers the idea of digital rights management, or DRM, for 3-D printers. As with e-books that won’t open unless you pay Barnes & Noble and use its Nook reader, with this technology your printer wouldn’t print unless you’ve paid up."
