Okay this is great and all but instead of 3d printing ancient artifacts and buildings, wouldn't it be better properly preserve these buildings.
This seems like a great technology but I would rather have our government
(Plus world governments) and people protect the real thing.
Although this little 3d printed Taj Mahal would look nice in anyone's home:
They should not create giant life size replicas of these ancient treasures.
Especially with what happened to the giant buddhas in Afghanistan a few years ago
and most recently in Syria.
These sites require PROTECTION from all of us.
Appreciate 3d printing but this is by no way a way to protect history.
