Gizmodo’s 3D Printing Week, a collaborative project with GE that comes to a close this evening, would only be partially complete without a look at the use of animals as living 3D printers. They are sentient printheads, we might say: biological sources of material, whether it’s silk and honey or plastic and even, as we’ll see below, concrete.

If you were walking down the street and someone handed you a completely colorless Rubik’s cube and asked if you wanted to have a go, chances are you’d hand it back with a quick, "nahhhh, I’m cool."
