Scientists invent 3-D printer 'teleporter'

TeleporterScientists at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany, say they've invented the world's first teleporter. Naturally, it's named "Scotty" after Star Trek's enterprising engineer Mr. Scott.

"We present a simple self-contained appliance that allows relocating inanimate physical objects across distance," the researchers wrote in the paper submitted to the Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction conference, held this week at Stanford University. "Users place an object into the sender unit, enter the address of a receiver unit, and press the relocate button."

That _sounds_ like a transporter, but it's not so much a teleportation device as it is a next-level scanner and 3-D printer separated by time and space.

On one end, the machine destructively scans an inanimate object, layer by layer. The detailed information on that object is then sent via a closed communication system to a 3-D printer located elsewhere. There, the object is recreated in full.
