As part of our groundbreaking series Back to the Futurist, we interviewed Rohit Talwar at the Victoria & Albert Museum‘s brilliant ‘Power of Making‘ Exhibition. Using the exhibition as inspiration for our conversation Rohit delved into a mind-boggling array of possibilities that may very well define the world of tomorrow. In this video he covers the wondrous technological and manufacturing revolution that is 3D printing.
