In this episode we examine the current state of 3D printing, the worlds largest 3D printed object and the worlds smallest ever art installation (you guessed it, done with a 3d printer). We discuss Internet Privacy and your digital fingerprint, how the data can be used to determine things about unique individuals and make the strongest case yet for drinking pumpkin spice lattes with everyone else at Starbucks. Finally we discuss Deep Fake technology as Brent describes the technology and how it works (sort of).

3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model.[1] The term "3D printing" can refer to a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control to create a three-dimensional object,[2] with material being added together (such as liquid molecules or powder grains being fused together), typically layer by layer.
So what kind of stuff are being 3D printed today? What can we expect from this technology in the future?
