　　Very rapidly, 3D printers have spread from scientificlabs to industrial workshops to private homes.

　　3D打印机的发展如此迅猛，已经从科学实验室蔓延到工业车间，而现在即将进入到千家万户。

　　The range of available machines is on display at3D print shows, like the one held last November inLondon,from sophisticated models that can printcomplex objects, such as replicas of human organs, to more affordable machines that makechildren's toys or parts for home appliances.

　　这种机器的可打印范围以3 D打印模型展现,比如去年11月在伦敦举行的展会,从可以打印如人体器官复制品的精细物体复杂模型到造价便宜制造儿童玩具或家用电器零部件的机器应有尽有。

　　A German firm recently displayed a prototype of a car chassis printed in one piece, while aChinese manufacturer advertised a house created in a 3D printer.

　　一家德国公司最近展示了一款一体打印出车的底盘原型,而中国制造商则以3D打印机创建的一所房子进行宣传。

　　With the help of a computer, practically anyone can print exact copies of a variety ofobjects,and potentially violate the law.

　　凭借电脑的帮助,任何人都可以打印各种物体的精细复制品,而这一点可能触犯到了法律。

　　Julie Samuels is a Senior Staff Attorney with the U.S. civil liberties group, Electronic FrontierFoundation.

　　“If a certain design that you want to print is covered by copyright, then if you print that youare infringing, arguably, someone's copyright."

　　“如果你想打印的某项设计有版权保护,然后你的行为就会涉及侵权,可以说,侵犯到了别人的版权。”

　　But 3D companies warn that passing more restrictive copyright protection laws could impedeboth citizens' rights and technological innovation.

　　但3D公司警告称如果出台更严格的版权保护法律，可能会阻碍公民权利和技术创新。

　　Several decades ago, legislatures and the music industry were equally slow to adjust whensuddenly anyone could copy music, first to magnetic and now electronic media.

　　几十年前,立法机构和音乐产业在从最初的磁带到现在流行的电子媒体时对于任何人都可以复制音乐的情况也是同样缓慢的进行调整处理。

　　But just as in the music industry, the founder of the website 3DPlus.me, Cydni Tetro, says sheexpects to see 3D licenses very soon.

　　但就如同音乐行业一样,网站3DPlus.me的创始人西德尼·特罗称她期待3D执照的很快面世。

　　“All of those companies are in very active engagements right now about how they'll deploy 3Dprinted products over the next year, and we're going to see that."

　　“这些公司现在非常积极的从事在未来一年的3D印刷产品,而我们则拭目以待。”

　　3D printer designer Diego Porqueras says owners of 3D printers and copyright owners shouldcome to terms.

　　“If companies really take advantage of that and just charge nominal fees to download yourfavorite character off Star Wars and 3D print it, I think that's going to prevent a lot morepiracy."

　　“如果公司真的加以利用,下载你最喜欢的星球大战角色并且进行3D打印就进行象征性收费,我认为这是出于防止更多盗版的目的。”

　　The lack of legislation related to 3D printing will hardly stop the technology from spreading,but experts say they hope the new laws will not punish people for printing a copy of somethingfor their personal use.

　　3D印制技术相关立法的缺乏将很难阻止这项技术传播,但专家们表示他们希望新的法律将不会对出于个人使用目的打印进行处罚。
