Joke's on you, I can't write by hand without severe pain after a short while!

The best part is there are hand writing generating programs or even web pages that convert text to gcode allowing you to use a 3d printer to write things out. In theory it should be really hard to pass it off as being human written, let alone match your own writing, but I'm sure it will only get better. I think there are even models to try to match someone's writing.

Are you going to bring your 3d printer into your university's exam hall to write your final?

The problem with those programs is that you do not always know what the tests are going to be.

Also, it'd be hard to pull out the sheet if you have to store your bags away from you and have to empty your pockets.
