Sorry, screwed up the posting.

In the context, 4D refers to 3D printing objects which then self-assemble.
The topic is based on a report I heard about the possibility of printing biological agents which could then reproduce in a medium (or a victim).
The building instructions could be sent by the internet to a terrorist cell that could print the agent using seemingly innocuous printing material.
Has this topic been covered? Any comments?
