High-Low Tech, a research group at the MIT Media Lab, integrates high and low technological materials, processes, and cultures. Our primary aim is to engage diverse audiences in designing and building their own technologies by situating computation in new cultural and material contexts, and by developing tools that democratize engineering. 

When 3D printers first came out, they were priced for tech sultans; the home hobbyist didn't have a shot. But prices have dipped, putting these devices just within splurging range. Now, you too can crank out simple farm and garden devices in your basement.

"rial 3D printers have systems in place to remove emissions. It would be nice to see UFP-capturing systems integrated into consumer printers as well. The researchers said they were not able to determine the composition of the particles and suggested further study, which could help inform new 3D printer designs or even new types of UFP-free plastic. For now, they recommend using 3D printers in a well ven"
