So today is Fat Tuesday that is followed by Ash Wednesday tomorrow, so I figured we’d talk religion and 3D printing…yes, there does appear to be some connections and not just a 3D printed Jesus!

It isn’t limited to Christianity, people are even 3D printing Hindu idols. Of course if you want to blend your faith and your technology the best way to attract questions on both fronts could be to buy yourself a 3D printed crucifix!
