Printer out ... household appliances!

You will be able to ' print ' your own replacement items like a new brush, a battery cover for your mobile phone . and take only a few minutes! Such a " print " machine is expected to be available in the market later this year.

When you don't have time to shop for a new brush, or battery cover for a mobile phone, or your kids spoil a plastic part of their toys . no In the long run, you can create those items yourself in your home.

3-D printers are the answer to those questions. You will be able to 'print' yourself for replacement items by entering data for the printer and waiting for a few minutes. These printers have been applied in design stores for about 10 years. They are used to create new parts designed for cars, airplanes and other products before being put into production.

Currently, the price of such a printer is about $ 100,000, but in recent years, that price is only $ 15,000. However, it is still quite expensive for most people. That's why a company sought to introduce a new 3-D printer at a much lower price, in the next one or two years.

The Idea Lab will offer a new 3-D printer named Desktop Factory for $ 4,995, and is expected to hit the market later this year. They also said product prices would be even lower, about $ 1,000 over the next four years.

Bill Gross, chairman of Idea Lab, said: 'The outstanding advantage of this idea is the basic techniques that allow us to create a printer with a cost of about $ 300.

The working principle of these printers is not too complicated. They gather pictures of objects through traces of material, like conventional printers that produce images through ink dots.

This type of printer uses halogen bulbs to melt plastic powder, and creates product samples from thin layers, each made of liquid or plastic powder that can harden with temperature, light and proper chemical.

Hod Lipson, a professor at Cornell University, who is leading the project of making a 3-D printer for about $ 2,000, said: 'In the future, people will have the opportunity to own the machines. Such printing at home. You can make your own toothbrushes, forks, or shoes . Who knows where everything will go? '
