Many people think 3-D printing could help spark a manufacturing renaissance in the U.S. But as 3-D printers and 3-D scanners get cheaper, this nascent industry could be roiled by battles over intellectual property.
Not so long ago, a good 3-D scanner that could create digital models of objects cost more than $10,000. Then, Microsoft released the Kinect—the video game controller that allows you to play games by just waving your hands.
