==3D printing== | |||
3D printing got not only popular among civil and industrial-level ''tinkerers'', also criminal organizations try to make use of it. And the Syndicate became a prime example of that. Weapon parts get printed, assembled and sold on demand. Thugs and other criminal customers receive the ''goods'' via drone. The Syndicate uses various base materials that aren't on police's watch list. The illegal blueprints are shared over the encryption-protected TITAN darknet. | |||
The Syndicate tries to perfect its own printing technologies to become as much independent as possible. For instance, 2049, they upgraded their African HQ by use of mobile [http://phys.org/news/2015-10-tu-eindhoven-kingsize-3d-concrete.html concrete printers.] | |||
===Bioprinting=== | |||
Bioprinting is also known as tissue engineering. | |||
So far it wasn't possible to bioprint arteries and small blood vessels which are needed for any organ. In 2015, the problem of a sufficient blood supply was pretty much solved. Increasing printing resolution and stability and simultaneous usage of different ''materials'' will make it possible to print - in theory - complete humans, on condition that research of [[Bertram_Navarre#Added_value|iPSC]] don't run into some heavy roadblocks. | |||

===Printed food=== | |||
Hmmm tasty Frankenburger ... | |||

Notes: Why print food when could reload your chemical-bound energy storages directly? -> Omega-Chimera | |||
The Syndicate prints food for their HQ staff. | |||
===Molecular printing=== | |||
To cut a long story short, the ''white coats'' showed, in the future, it will be possible to [http://phys.org/news/2015-10-physicists-movement-electrons-molecule.html control chemical reactions with light.] This means, you need only a few elementary resources and then build stuff molecule by molecule. | |||
On a second thought, it should also be possible the break apart already existing chemical bonds to harvest elements from common molecules like H2O, CO2, N2, NH3, etc. | |||
Anyway, preferably you would also build specialized nanobots to further accelerate construction time of the actual desired product. | |||

Hasegawa's new lab includes molecular printers so that they can build SLDs and nano-sized tools to probe and manipulate Daodan samples. | |||
Pensatore also used them to dissemble himself with an early Bioc prototype. Mukade found Pensatore's beheaded corpse after unlocking the room by force. | |||
