Good afternoon everyone, I am Professor Filleus Foggy, at your service, welcome to the science museum. There are loads of things to look at I suggest we go and see the 3D machine first as I know many of you are interested in the prospect of potential replacement body parts .....come this way...........takes off very tall top hat and leads in the museum

I can organise almost anything you like........just so long as that person with a long moustache plays ball and stops boinging all over the place, the ceiling in here are so high, but we have many things hanging, I am afeared she may damage either herself or one of the exhibits.....now, there is an interactive viewing of King Penguins a bit later but perhaps you might like to avail yourselves of some substantial lunch, as some of you appear to be, and I don't mean this rudely, somewhat under the affluence of inkahol :D >>>>>>>>> come this way >>>>>> leads to magnificent glass lift ............

Indeed dear lady the 3D concept is very interesting let me tell you more :-)

3D printers inspire creativity: the exhibition wall is an explosion of over 600 printed objects. But where’s the real innovation?

Explore this exhibition to discover how innovators are using 3D printers to turn computer data into physical objects that could change your life. The stories we’ve uncovered focus on the future of industry, medicine and whether 3D printing will change your shopping experience.

See lighter, more efficient plane parts created through 3D printing that could save fuel on your flights.

Check out 3D printed replacement body parts – from those already used today, to the possible 3D printed organs of the future.

Discover the open-source mechanical hand that carpenter Richard Van As made on a consumer machine to replace his missing fingers.

And see how 3D printing can inspire artists in Inversive Embodiment, an intricate sculptural

work by Tobias Klein that incorporates MRI scans and St Paul’s Cathedral.

How will 3D printing shape your future?

(I know how I wish it would reshape mine, says Foggy under her breath)

Hi Girls

I've been waiting for you in the big hall, couldn't take the coach, makes me a bit icky.

Well, what do we have here, lots of bells and whistles and levers to pull and buttons to push. Wow, I am amazed, Zeb has just shot in the air, which button did she push?, I'd like a go of that.

Hi Bluebell we are in the 3d printing though Zeb keepd boing off

I've since lost my boing as I accidently tweeked my magic tash whilst thinking and now have a new 3D body.

haribo36 profile image
haribo36 in reply to

No iam here zeb,and I must say how exciting it was flying! And how bloody daft considering I don't know how to fly and I've consumed one too many vodka and lucozade revives as well as quite a few curly wurlys.So now iam off to the loos to throw up :(

in reply to haribo36

LOLOL........ chuckling........ glad yr safe I tweeked the magic tash by accident........ very sorry hunny :o

surely with a 3 d printer is the size of the printed object could be very awkward

Fibrofoggiest in reply to Ginsing

Oh no, fine lady, they can, as you see make parts for aeroplanes, all with such ease.......the future is out there.....

(Hmmm thinks Foggy all this alter ego bit is getting a bit puzzling)

What makes you smarter than a chimp? What makes you smile? What makes you, you?

Who am I? invites you to explore the science of who you are through intriguing objects, provocative artworks and hands-on exhibits.

Discover what your voice sounds like as a member of the opposite sex, morph your face to see what you’ll look like as you age, or collect DNA to catch a criminal in our brand-new interactive exhibits.

Investigate some of the characteristics that make humans such a successful species, such as personality, intelligence and language.

Reflect on the big questions that new techniques in science are raising, and explore how your genetics and brain combine to create your unique identity.
