This has a big WOW factor

Printer revolution.  Print in 3D  :o

Alright!  I want to print me a copy of Kari Byron!

I have a colleague who researches 3D printing. She made coffee cups by 3D printing in ceramic.

3D  custom shaped Beer Containers or at least the molds for some…

I saw one of these built with a beagleboard single board computer.  Nifty idea.  Beagleboards are a lot of fun.

I’ll take a lifesize print of Anna Kornikova.  :smiley:

With moving parts, right?

Dibs on the scanning part!

I saw this a while back (if it’s the same video I think it is, I haven’t clicked the link above) and the printer is only $28K…the scanner is another $28K.

Yep the age of replicators!

“Computer; Earl Grey tea, hot…”

This thing is sick.  I know someone that has one of these machines and have held moving-parts items that came out of the process. 
It’s absolutely amazing.

Print out a steel wrench and then we’re talking.
