This section will lift the curtain over my laboratory. Here, like a medieval alchemist, I return to the same search of meaning, form and essence of things over and over again. I conduct various researches, which becomes a reliable foundation for my design.

“In the foreseeable future there could not be any reason for fundamental change of a spoon. Simple objects will survive past us.” Thus I finished my first article and wasn’t completely correct. Simple objects will, of course, survive past us, but there is technology, nevertheless. The shape and construction of an object, for example, a spoon, will meet the shape of a human being. But the materials used to produce the object and the technologies used for its manufacture were changing, are changing and will be changing constantly. I can hazard a guess, that the only >	direction in which some serious changes can be expected – is the new philosophy of the item’s manufacture. Philipp Stark was right when talking about global changes in view of the appearance of 3D printing devices. He assumed that each user owning a personal 3D printer will have the opportunity to print the necessary objects on his own. But his idea of the rapid death of industrial design didn’t pan out. Design not alone didn’t die but acquired new possibilities with the appearance of RP technologies.
Today we already have mass production manufactured with the help of this technology. FOC studio and MGX use only 3D print for their batch production. Front is experimenting with art design. Girls draw utility objects in the surrounding space and print them on 3D printer.
	The creation of a printer that prints itself is the latest thing. The next step is printing not only details but printing whole devices with microchips and all the necessary components for their appropriate functioning. But I would like to take a look under the microscope at the technological opportunities that have not yet been tested but have every chance of becoming reality. The same principle is used in the modern 3D printer models as in the print of a simple full-coloured 2D image. Four containers with coloured agglutinant (blue, yellow and transparent) allow the creation of a model the same colour as the initial virtual prototype. In other words, this is 3D CMYK printing.
Today no one is surprised by the ability to recreate gradient banners and photographical images, transitioning into a blank sheet or into another image, with the help of CMKY printers. Also, sound can be smoothly increased and light can be gently dimmed. Taste can change from sweet to bitter, smell can change from pleasant to irritating. All the above processes are manageable. So, if a 3D object can be printed like a 2D one, you could assume the appearance of pieces with mixed characteristics of materials. To begin with, the printer should be able to print an object with changing transparency. Secondly, which is the most unbelievable but logical, the printer should print an object with mixed physical characteristics. Today a large number of materials for 3D printing already exist. We can achieve objects that greatly resemble original materials, ceramics, rubber, metal, glass etc. Therefore, similarly to 2D printing, an opportunity to produce objects with blending physical characteristics will appear, for example, changing from a metal foundation to a transparent glass plafond or from a plastic handle to a metal knife, or from a wooden handle, to metal dipper of a spoon. But even this is not everything that can be expected. I dare to suppose that at a time when there are designs managed by CMYK characteristics of markers and cartridges, which will most definitely appear in the foreseeable future, objects possessing manageable physical characteristics will develop. For example, you will be able to choose the material for the handle of a knife, the wooden can be changed into plastic, plastic into rubber, and it will also be possible to do that with the blade. You would be able to twist a rubber knife and hide it in your pocket. 3D printing is only beginning its journey; this is a revolution not only in the creation of the objective world. Technology allows performing actions that seem absolutely fictional, for example, printing a ripe pear or anchovy with pickles, in addition, serving a glass of white wine with a taste of the rarest natural sort.
