Of advanced electronics and computers. And with regard to advanced production methods today mechanization is now evolving on its own: moving away from the traditional method of assembling component parts into a configuration, into an advanced method of creating entire products in one single process. Like most engineers, I'm fascinated by biology because it is so full of examples of extraordinary pieces of engineering. What biology is - is the study of things that copy themselves. of life as we've got. Again, as an engineer, I have always been intrigued by the idea of machines copying themselves. RepRap is a three-dimensional printer - that's to say it is a printer that you plug into your computer and instead of making 2-dimensional sheets of paper with patterns on, it makes real, physical, 3-dimensional objects. Now there's nothing new about that. 3D printers have been around for about 30 years. The big thing about RepRap is that it prints most of its own parts.
