on larry king now three d. printers leaving ted spread all revolution in the making it's taking virtual objects and being able to produce those. in atoms the real physical material has been being used in industry for a long time and now it's becoming personal by down to the high end one of the really strong growth areas for three d. printing today's in the medical field researchers in princeton and just kind of the bio here there's a million times more sensitive than human the first major fully functional organ the liver is expected to be coming within will three d. printers make guns assessable deadly body i thought you could disagree a bit with the ease which claimed not leap hours over over art and i thought this could be done cheaply and easily and i wanted to demonstrate that god did plus you

take a look at or around to our reality of today's form by the things that are produced for us now this technology allows you to make your reality so your imagination is the future all next on larry king now. welcome to larry king now we are discussing today the burgeoning and fascinating field of printing just technology with an all inspiring range of uses from turning out pleasure to go to heads to printing furniture and houses and food and of the future perhaps even viable human organs here to discuss the far reaching up locations and implications of three d. printing aaron walsh director of the immersive education initiative a professor at boston college and an expert on three d. printing and. on top executive vice president of corporate affairs as stratus one

of the world's largest manufacturers of three d. printing equipment and materials will also be joined remotely by make every link who used the three d. printed to create prosthetic limbs and by cody wilson who nvram a sleek produced the world's first functional three d. printed gun will hear from them later on what's three d. printing it's the conversion of bits into atoms it's taking virtual objects things that you might have enough video game or a virtual environment and being able to produce those. in atoms real physical materials who started this started early stages of back on one nine hundred seventy s. but it really got kicked off in the eighty's in large part to the founder of stratus johns company some seminal patent work in that field that's been growing it's been being used in industry for a long time and now it's becoming personal down to the same guys who

a company called greta they came to my house scanned me and took pictures of. what is this about as you printed the printed version of larry king it is what the process they went through is a scan do earn you into a three dimensional virtual i don't know i'm a walking room it took a three about ten minutes very quick three d. scanning and then they took that virtual model those bits those pixels and they printed it layer by layer to create a physical model. so no biggie is this range of bridging devices it's huge couple hundred dollars to get him to do it yourself kits you can get do it yourself kits online and you can make them their self or you can go up to half a million two million dollar industry level no where is the public of all of us i think they're starting to get where shows like yours starting to get the word out i think it's at that what i call the tipping point of the inflection point for public awareness and the maker communities to do it yourself communities are aware of it

manufacturing is aware of it but the average person i think is still unaware of what's possible what's bio printing organs tissues some examples of that liver tissue has been printed and women are going to print a human organ. and i'm not going to do it. do you how do you live a printed and put it into someone with bad luck that is the goal right now the tissue samples live tissue samples have been printed you take human cells and you can combine them with electronics even you can print the tissue and now they have the vascular network brigham and women's hospital where my kids were born in boston has just announced that they're printing the basket or system to connect these organs together the first major fully functional organ the liver is expected becoming within the year john what's your role in this well i've was fortunate enough to be involved in three d. printing really from more or less inception a bill of the company for twenty years and you know at the beginning really three d. printing was set up as

a tool for the engineer and the designers really for the for prototyping and then really as recently as probably the last five. years we've really started to see three d. printing get involved in manufacturing manufacturing jobs in fixtures you know on the assembly floor and then i guess kind of the nirvana if you will of three d. printing which is printing of and used parts and there's more and more companies that are starting to do that at this point i want people is this going to put out a work i you know i don't i don't think any it's what it does is like so many technologies do that we've faced over the years is that it looks at a different type of skill set that that is necessary in order to do the design work in order to do the manufacturing work it's different types of manufacturing versus what traditional manufacturing is today you two work together not directly no we work with stratus as in terms of placing some printers in our community and we've just started talking about a strategic relationship status this is the eight hundred pound gorilla in this

space stratus is based we have dual headquarters one is in the minneapolis area in the other is in israel right outside of tel aviv and your company is it's a nonprofit consorting it's global according to the u.s. department of health and human services eighteen people die every day waiting for an organ transplant could this be you move toward making beds zero one of the really strong growth areas for three d. printing today is in the medical field as i say medical it's that we talked a lot about earlier about the organ transplants but then also digital dentistry you know is another little dead issue what will it do well you know if you look at the way the dentistry has worked in the past there's a lot of molds and that type of thing the you have to go through in order to to get a bridge or whatever else now all that is done through a scanning type of process what's the same as you make it and therefore street in twenty minutes well exactly or a bridge or a cap or whatever or what is that. this is this is not something that is called a brain gear and this was one of the benefits i think of three printing if you look

at this particular product which is quite complex obviously it rotates but this was built in one piece all in one piece so if you look at traditional manufacturing the methodology that used today it would be impossible to do but if you look at three d. printing people look at it and go how was this done what kind of equipment be in need of the three of the hands on what you want to do this this is a fairly entry level piece this is the simplest thing and the high end talking about organs researchers in princeton have just printed a bio on a care that is a million times more sensitive than the human hair so we talk about having the ability to help people with transplants not only can they potentially be saved they can be improved and that kind of printing is way up on the scale in terms of complexity and cost and expertise that it actually prints human tissue combined with electronics so you've got a huge range of capabilities joining us now is make gaveling he's the founder and

c.e.o. of not impossible labs it's an international speaker on the subject of open source medical devices tell me about this project and the boy you helped there's a young boy named daniel that. through reading an article about dr dhar container who is in the nuba mountains which is a contested area between north you danner sudan and south sudan and this boy without telling us is families blocks and a bomb the government of sudan was bombing the area and yet both of his arms blown off and when i read the article about him having his arms above are i was really moved because i have three young boys and i couldn't imagine that happening to them and his response when he woke up. after the amputation surgery was if i could have died i would have and it was just something that i had i could just close my computer and go to bed after reading that i needed to do something so we decided to

put together a solution do you and you made a man and we had we made it three d. printed are now part of the i understand not impossible vision is your solutions are open source meaning other people can access it right that's correct everything we do we do through this concept of help one help many so we help one person but then we publish the code and the solution open source so that many people can use it afterwards i understand that there are of the fifty thousand amputees in sudan or other people starting to get in this there are more three d. printers being used or what we did is we when we went over. made it over daniel to allow for the first time in two years but then we also train doctors staff there was about eight young men that we trained to make arms as well when we left we left . them in the tools and. from the time i left to the time that we launched this on january sixth i made a public announcement they were making approximately an arm

a week without us even in even a country which to me that was that was our goal we didn't want to just go over it you would drop and drop a bunch of stuff there and then leave we wanted to make it so it would be you know john i understand you have a similar story about a girl named emma yes emma was born with a disease called amc which really allowed the inability of her to move her arms so there's a product called racks and racks was something that was manufactured for adults but some doctors at dupont hospital looked at emma and it took the idea of rex and a three d. printer that they had of ours and they actually took that particular item and scale it down for a young girl who was four years old and for the first time she was able to move or arms interact with it was objects and she was able to verbalize things and play with things for there for the first time so maisie know they make prosthetics all the time right in the lab and that exact is going to be cheaper and faster well

there's two things it's definitely less expensive and in a couple ways one you think about an adult an adult really doesn't change too much other than losing weight or gaining weight and but for a young child they're growing all the time so the interesting thing about this is the mother is able then to say ok emma's grown x. amount and then they'll print out a certain piece that conforms to whatever growth is the interesting thing about this has been has been a foundation set up and as magic arms at this point in time there's been roughly about seventy. children that have been helped by this maker using three d. printers in the other project so why go robot you have a robot walker yeah we're working with really reproaching is basically rapid prototyping so we use it as a way to attached out our theories on how we're going to build something but we're now looking to build an exoskeleton for a young girl cerebral palsy in mexico city larry one of the most important parts of

this is the personalization of this technology to the individual but in these cases in the sudan it's getting the prosthetics there if that child was unable to get to a hospital that could produce a prosthetic and that again these types of printers can be shipped out and they can be set up in small villages and they can even be solar powered in some cases so you can have a complete medical care situation that you see any ethical questions here john there you know there's with the deep blue technology there is there certainly buying sod you know i think you know i think if you look at it we've got a society has always been looking to to help individuals and i think what three d. printing is done is just one brings it closer to the patient and then i think the second thing is really start to customize to individual patients need and i think that's truly amazing and game changing make how is daniel doing now you know doing great i just spoke to dr tom a couple of days ago he's using the arm to continue to beat him which is kind of

the primary reason we wanted to do it and i think it getting the best read about what's going on over there is that. if a finger breaks. on an expensive prosthetic you have to send it back to the supplier and make your and then there's shipping as i think your brakes on on an arm of ours or an arm that's generated from a three d. printer and you just print that anger again you know it's cost pennies because you're already set up in doing so that ability to make something that is i mean our printers were printed off of solar power the hospital was was solar powered so just creating that scalable solution that you're not going to have to go through that the rigamarole of having to get permission to continue to do the work that's i mean that's to me what's the most exciting or if you just seems unlimited here where's it going i think it's your imagination you know if you take a look at or around you our reality today is formed by the things that are produced for us now this technology allows you to make your reality so your imagination is

the future thank you very much make up next we're joined by cody wilson who successfully made the first three d. printed gun and now we'll hear his story and talk about the implications of this didn't always after the break is scary. it'll take a very hard to. do that that would make her look. at least. at least to

the printer. think. the really. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy correct albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across the silicon we've been hijacked by handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one school class i'm tom mark and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem. rational debate real discussion critical issues facing. them ready to join the movement and

walk the big picture. and we now welcome to this incredible show today cody wilson the founder of defense distributed it's a nonprofit and he monopolistic digital publisher in twenty third team cody produced the first three d. printed gun and released the designs online for others to access why cody did you do this. larry king thank you i think there are a number of reasons maybe the most foremost of these was a kind of suggestion about how we saw the digital future in talia rolling out and we thought that that meant a future a personal argument in fact we could prove it so it was it was a kind of curious and intrepid way of creating a future that we imagined but what why and why

a gun you call it on the limb arabia what is the social purpose of making a gun from a three d. machine i didn't define it first as a social purpose i find it political philosophy part is basically the ideas that i thought we could disintermediation get ortiz which claim not only powers over over ours especially united states but of course in the world and i thought this could be done cheaply and easily and i wanted to demonstrate that it could be done and we did but wait a minute so you are saying to the arms industry i give my guns to bill and you. and i can do it fast so we can kill a lot more people. i think that's not true and i wonder is the point in nature of just manufacturing techniques don't don't outstrip conventional mass manufacturing techniques and last process decent and are inferior to metal manufacturing techniques metallic but as a as a way of abating a certain regulatory technique or regulatory apparatus this evade background checks it's evaded certain kind of laws about how you're going to get access to air

fifteen parts i mean it was it was like the super bowl if you will for some of these gun laws at a specific time that america was debating the next round of gun rights i get it you put the design online for others to access is it true you downloaded more than one hundred thousand times in two days he did it and unlike big publishers we didn't download those ourselves people all over the world downloaded i got very quick the news was pretty good is it legal. strictly speaking yes it's legal to go to down to the united states legal to make for yourself the rest of the world not so much you know kind of got around the law but the state department took down the design files. saying they violated federal laws about exporting munitions that's right they whether they're conducting an investigation to see whether they that in fact happened but the state department's problem is not the guns and sell the state farm the problem is that chain of authority related data it think that

actors have to ask for their permission before they release this kind of data and the internet of course that's plagued with constitutional problems from the first to the second amendment so this is not settled in at least using everyone to have the ability to have a gun makes a gun oh yeah i think i i put my money where my mouth is on that as well. you originally going to print the gun on the on the stratus is a printer that you had leased the company sees that why would you do that john. well at the time of the us back in two thousand and twelve we looked at his intent to manufacture and distribute firearms and that was violation then there's also the plastic gun law that was in fact and actually when you don't like is what what he's doing. now i would i wouldn't i wouldn't say personally like i don't like it i think that the matter was that looking at the right regulations that existed on the books at that particular time. utilizing the printer it was a rented printer at that point in time we felt as

a company that it was the right thing to do to repossess then i think cody as i recall sent sent the machine back as well what does he or do you make my whole life is a just a couple points that are really important to point out about cody's statement he printed it on a less powerful printer printers are capable of fusing titanium ellie's they can be used and are used in turbine engines jet engines and rocket engine so the notion that you can't three d. print something that strong is not correct the designs that he used and printed were on a less powerful printer the concern of course whether it's plastic and can fire a gun or it's titanium can fire doesn't matter it's an ethical issue that we have to deal with these type of all advances there are exact of side effects and i don't mean it's just that our winners are running so was inferior traditional techniques just the areas in the range materials we had and the cost wouldn't it just be

prohibitive to try to do things in a titanium or metal we were working on. goalie what does your family think of wallace i think you know very much at first i'm using an owner. everything is gone and i think they're grateful that i'm not in jail but i want to say that it was actually pretty clear cut from i was a law student why did much this project alone was not the needed us for most of what we were doing and that's. i considered i don't have at that low stratus but i could see some what they were doing a bit kind of disingenuous because a lot pretty clear that americans can make it individuals can make guns without having a license without requiring licenses from the government you are about this john well sure i think i think anybody that flies or war is involved in such side is worth is worried about it any any type of weapon or firearm yes you never regret what you do in error i don't regret it i question it regularly going back when i first got involved with immersion in virtual reality these are life changing

culturally changing technologies and so you have to question along the way so i don't regret it i think it's the good by far out powers the negative but i think you have to question as you go do you have a drug use of courtly. not i write i think that if you write i think that it's human. but i don't think don carty radical that some people claim to be but i'd like to question his universal ethics to which we have people that say well you shouldn't you shouldn't have a gun you shouldn't allow people access to guns but for the government that seems to ring any and hollow especially in light of the revelations that people like mr snowden share with us authority isn't if you learn to trust it at all costs universal. thank you very much cody. so we're just architects and we're going to be three d. printing again most. of the scenes we were already printing with the smaller printers from on time but it's architects who are sinking what the distinction in the architecture what if you really get three different buildings we can really

recycle waste materials into the materials eliminate large transfer costs remake unique and personalized architecture you can print buildings and then just shutter them and then print and we knew there was an issue as do it's really nice the treatment thing is in. the roots are first best at the small window and once the balance the finalized we send it to. get the technique in the small print gives isn't exactly the same as what we can use the same file so get innovation is not only one thing it's also it's the rules we build one system of elements in which we combine one of them and structure interface out and out of that in one. we can change these i think we're into the realm of there's just imagine it's you can print sort of some of the bench for instance on the early

a position house and it's orient to the sun in your house you know when. we started printing was best six the best estimate serial it works best with these if the em printed they need a recurrence it is going to be a new bio based derian that's really a specially made for sig it's an architecture that's about seventy sustainable strong and. that was a video from do socket tests they're building a house constructed entirely by a three d. printer professor crusher of a mistress of us c. has a technology he says that's capable of print to get the entire house of the day complete with functioning plumbing and electricity. you're both nodding yes that's possible also bill without a doubt but where is all this go where is it going it's changing the world we live here she would for about jobs with missile i'm in a construction companies well i again i think you know there's so many different things that have happened over the course of history that have changed the way

things are built designed and manufactured and i think what it does is really it opens up a new opportunity for different types of manufacturing in that in the in the film industry there's all sorts of things that are being done today to generate. props and that type of thing and in lot of in our started to be three d. printed and you know there's a legacy of facts as a company here in the hollywood hills area and they'll talk about how they're your workers have had to be retrained to utilize three d. printing so they haven't been displaced as a matter of fact i think if you talk to one of the people there even find out that the workers are actually happier because they end up being much more creative because the machine is actually doing some of the some of the production work for this is large scale printing nohow assessable of three d. printers for the average consumer the average consumer can for a couple of hundred dollars have one on their desk within a matter of days we're going to see it is going to see it as ubiquitous as t.v.'s and smartphones yeah i think i think so it's there's a there's

a lot of content that that's out there people i think want to be creative i think the three d. printing technology is an able or that allows people to be be creative and you think about it all in a larger scale you start to look at the capability of inventory at large box stores in the you have a a line maybe of three d. printers so you're looking at up plumbing first year or common fixture you would actually maybe take a picture on your i phone you know look at that joe joint you're looking at send that down to the big box store and go and go pick it up and they don't have to have this huge amount of inventory that's sitting there we have some social media questions. stephen perry eighty via twitter will three d. printing and cosmetic surgery of a go and yes they will absolutely they're already being done in medical faces are being reconstructed with three d. printing but the long term view the ethical concern is what if i can three d. print my own face what if i can preserve my face at twenty five and then have it

replayed at forty five it's possible technically ethically i don't think especially in l.a. i don't think the other question whether or not we said that this thirty three suicides in beverly hills plastic surgeon. twenty one what about using three d. printers for food is it capable of printing solid edibles abs knowledgeable wait a minute that it's being done today that jeff is your beach. we'd like cheese and fries and. everything's pasta my guess right he would eat in three d. printers so regenerate yes they can there's an entire line of open source three d. printers they start with the parent printer and they can print better versions of themselves and they have entire family trees really don't have your views ten years from now. printed organs fully functional reduced manufacturing cost people creating their home goods and some of the big ethical issues we've been talking about that they really surface and perhaps get regulated. yeah but i would

certainly agree with with all that i think you're going to start to see more and more a larger and medium sized companies really start to use three d. printing in their factory space and i'm not saying it's going to replace all of manufacturing but a lot of areas it makes a lot of sense this is unbelievable thanks to my guests aaron walsh john codman make up a link and cody wilson remember you can find me on twitter at kings things he and i said in your next. chance are forced. to. look at the finish line of the marathon.

for. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. one of the new will come on election. day so i think you're right. a pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure.
