Based on the idea of a community with a shared future for mankind （人类命运共同体）, countries are trying their best to protect them. "We don't own the pandas,     10     the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange, " Steven Mon fort, director of the Smithsonian's National Zoo said.

3D printing has several advantages     1     traditional manufacturing techniques. Building a model would be very expensive     2    (use) traditional manufacturing methods.

Last but not least, 3D printing is facing legal challenges. Established players in manufacturing argue that their intellectual property is ripped off by home printers. Currently, the copyright laws are     8     (clear) about the degree to     9    3D designs and software are protectable, and what     10     (consider) violation.
