化學家Lee Cronin正在研究一種3D印表機，不印出物體而是能夠印出化學分子。一個有潛力的讓人興奮的長期應用是：用化學連接印出屬於你個人的藥物。

Chemistry and digital technology are converging to create 3D printers that can produce molecules on demand. In one lab, researchers have prototyped a system that prints both chemical vessels and targeted molecules, using universal 'chemical inks.' This approach could make it possible to manufacture medicine at home or anywhere it's needed, simply by downloading a blueprint. On-the-fly drug creation could transform healthcare, making treatments hyper-personalized and widely accessible.
