Maker Machines

We've all heard of the maker machines, ranging in size from desktop sized units that can make all the parts required to make another one, or print in 3-D using plastic to reproduce complex shapes, all the way to the big ones that spit quick-curing concrete from a gantry crane, and can produce entire buildings.

Given that you can already buy a machine that can assemble DNA, how long did you think you'd have to wait before they were able to produce complete organisms? Well, we're not quite there yet, but we can produce organs, as long as their not overly complex.
