Advanced 3D printing of intelligent materials
What could we see of development of intelligent materials? From advancements in 3D printing, faster and with extremely small detail, a good few new constructed"materials" for building could be made.
For platform game enthusiasts, to make a correlation with game-level design and 3D printing, one could achieve tile based "game structure like" material parts which interconnected could construct micro functionality for new types of materials and fabrics.
Self Heating And Cooling Clothes
Let us look at f.ex. clothing; Wearable fabrics are fibers woven or different classic materials for most clothes, cotton, wool, etc. In the near future though, if printing speed at micro level gets fast enough and such materials could be combined with f.ex. heat conducting, and moving of heating and cooling channels via wires, combined with sensors towards the underneath layer of either skin or other fabric, one could hence make fabric that adjusted heating and cooling for what is underneath sensed, and what is outside sensed, to adjust towards an optimal preferred temperature for the wearer.
Self Cleaning Kitchen Bench
With an advanced structure composition, building on knowledge from f.ex. road construction (up to 11 layers for water disposal), other type of "worker" structures to move germs or other unwanted substances, from a layer on top and via nano level sewage like systems, one could imagine an intelligent kitchen bench which would dispose of leftover mess from food making automatically, a self cleaning kitchen bench system.
More ideas to come, probably.
