There’s only
one day a year when I’m crazy enough to purposefully set my alarm for 4:30AM…
For Christmas
comes but once a year!
After only
being married for two months, I know children will be part of my near future. There
will be first words, first steps, first days of school, birthdays ... and, of
course, the anxious wait for the morning of December 25th and the presents it
brings!
Being from
Nicaragua, though, I often wondered as a child how Santa manages to bring his
gifts to households around the globe. He faces some serious logistical
difficulties! And the world’s population is growing! By the time my children
are up waiting for Santa and his gifts, his sleigh will just not suffice.
But what if…
What if Santa
had his own little workshop in the home of every well-behaved young boy and
girl?
Wouldn’t this
be a big relief for him? ... for Rudolph? Donner? and Blitzen? Parents making
toys as his elves!
Imagine if
parents could 3D print
any toy a boy or girl wished for right in their own homes. Barbie dolls ready to style within the
hour. Hot Wheels Cars ready to
roll within minutes. The Avengers
ready to save the world in seconds.
You might be
thinking it would cost thousands (if not tens of thousands) of dollars to make
this come true. However, that’s not necessarily the case!
As 3D printing
technology advances and new 3D printer suppliers enter the market, prices will
fall, allowing this technology to be accessible and affordable to the general
public.
The 3D printing
technology will bring back the element of surprise that has been lost in
many households. I for one remember sneaking into my parents’ closet and
searching for my holiday gifts, only to rob myself of the Christmas morning
surprise.
3D printing has
the power to revive the magic of Christmas!
No longer will Tickle-Me-Elmo
(1996) and Furby
(1998) be sold out on Christmas day. They will both be waiting for you— online,
in your email account.
Do you think StarWars lightsabers will be in stock this at Toys R Us Christmas once Episode VII opens in theaters come
December 19th? May the force be with you… (It’s already out of
stock)
So how many
Christmas seasons away are we from 3D Gift Printing?
Would you allow
Santa to establish a workshop in your home?
Come on Santa…
Just download…
Now print.
Merry Christmas
to all, and to all a good night!
Interesting!
