Canadian province Saskatoon’s newest cafe has more than just coffee. Create Cafe has several 3D printers, including the largest one in North America. In the past two years, a growing number of farmers from the region have been coming in to 3D print custom or replacement pieces, rather than waiting weeks on end for orders to arrive.“There’s lots of electronics involved, tons of very small pieces, everything needs to work together,” Create Cafe co-owner Lance Greene explained to GlobalNews.ca,. “If the littlest thing fails, you might get sensor errors causing issues, but with 3D printer technology, you can fix a lot of those problems yourself.” One farmer has even bought a 3D printer of his own.
