Where is the blasted 10th bullet point! The point I\u2019m trying to make, however, is that 3D printing is start to come into our homes. The price of printers has come down into the $500 &#8211; $2,500 range for you and me.<\/p>\n<p>And for high end printers, there is one flying off soon to the International Space Station that will make parts to repair the International Space Station.
