Windows 8.1 makes 3D printing as simple as word printing

Microsoft has shown us a new feature of Windows 8.1 in its official blog video: Seamless connection to the 3D printer. Under this system, people perform 3D printing as simply as printing a Word document. In this video, called on the Whiteboard, Microsoft's Pamela Woon visited the Makerhaus store, which focuses on 3D printing.

It's not hard to find that when people need to print a 3D model, they just need to do the same thing that they did when they printed the Word document.

"With Windows 8.1, the concept of desktop manufacturing can come true," Microsoft said. We will have the 3D printing feature built into Windows 8.1. and Microsoft Research's newest technology will be able to embed unique information (such as serial numbers) into the 3D print object, and then through the terahertz scanner to read data, and no longer use the add RFID tags, digital new or barcode and other expensive methods. "Although 3D printing has not yet become the mainstream of the market, the concept of Microsoft is still well worth noting."
