Contest: what 3D-printed augmentations should future humans sport?

Cory Doctorow 4:26 am Tue May 10, 2011

Joris Peels sez, "Why not give humans 3D printed titanium teeth? Inspired by Max Barry's book Machine Man, we're exploring a future where people will turn to 3D printed titanium elective implants to add functionality to themselves or improve their looks. We want to challenge a designer or engineer to imagine an inspiring and provocative titanium 3D printed implant that will help people visualize a 3D printed future. The contest will be judged by Max Barry, bio robotics & 3D printing researcher Hob Lipson and Scott Summit."
