The most interesting thing I've seen in a decade. It's something straight out of Star Trek.

Saw this last year, pretty cool. Can't wait to see what they do with it.

Build your own and find out what it can do today!

Got to do my first project where tthe entire structure was 3d printed in plastic for analysis before hand.

Still had issues, but very promising.

Jay Leno got some money into this. The heat exchanger on one of his steam powered cars is rotten and this technology can get him a new one. IIRC he also said he try to duplicate a Dusenberg.

I saw this story today..

3D Printing Community to Crowdsource Saving a Species
Project Shellter intends to leverage the Makerbot community's design talent and network of 5,000 3D printers to design and produce shells for hermit crabs who face a species threatening, man-made housing shortage.

I read the story, thinking this was a great thing.. Then I read the comments.

Why are plastic shotgun shells unacceptable, but not your plastic junk?

Oh, because this is a transparent attempt to sell more stock for your printers. It wouldnt bother me if the end result wasn't more plastic needlessly dumped into the worlds oceans.
