Pass the red icing, please

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, December 16, 2015

Decorating holiday cookies at the Ada Public Library on Wednesday are (from left) Kaitlyn Michael, Leah Conley, and Carmen Mancuso.

Holiday cooking and baking are a part of the holiday tradition in many homes. These youth are learning early on how to fancy up sweets for guests (and themselves).

More than one cookie got eaten during the decorating at the library...and it was fun to lick the icing off the fingers, too. (Monty Siekerman photo)

Imagine a world where you can pick an object and then watch it form before your very eyes. 

What if I told you this technology has been around for years and is growing more popular everyday?  All it takes is a 3D printer and a 3D model of your desired object (which can be obtained via the internet or can be made yourself using 3D modelling software) and you are on your way.
