When it comes to global innovation, teenagers are leading the way. The latest teen genius to cross our radar is Thomas Suarez, a 15-year-old who claims to have designed a 3D printer that is ten times faster and more reliable than anything on the market.

It's quite a claim, but you would be foolish to discount Suarez. A few years ago, he made headlines when he created a Justin Bieber whack-a-mole game called Bustin Jieber. Since then has given talks to TED and the BBC. Now he is turning to 3D printing

3D printing has the potential to revolutionize everything from the medical i! ndustry to the way we produce everyday objects, however one of the major drawbacks is the time it takes to create something. An object the size of a basketball can take a day to make, so we're a long way from making Mission: Impossible-style masks in a few minutes.
