US-TECHONOLOGY-3D-PRINTING
TO GO WITH AFP STORY- US MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY BY JOHN BIERS
An employee of Normal, a headphone making company, takes picture of a woman's ear to build customized headphone to be printed by 3D printers during a event in New York on October 30, 2014. 3D printing has sometimes been called the future of manufacturing, but proponents of the technology say it is also a bit of a throwback. At Normal, consumers can use a mobile app to photograph their ear, transmit the shots to the New York startup's 3D printing facility and then receive invidualized earphones within 48 hours. After three decades in relative obscurity, 3D printing, which employs lasers to "print" objects from metals or plastics according to a digital design, has suddenly become one of the hottest areas of technology.
