Many people think that 3D printing is a timely hype. Yes, it’s new, it’s interesting, but from what most of us have seen – it’s nothing revolutionary. Still, its most famous uses are for guns and human organs. And we can definitely see why people think it’s over-hyped. Organs haven’t had big success and guns.. well, I don’t think we need more weapons, especially so easily obtained ones. But a Chinese company is trying something else. Check out what Rubbish Begone, waste removal London company has prepared for you in this blog post. Continue reading

Some of the reasons are well-known, others are still a mystery to those who haven’t read the news.
