The Rise of Makerbots

[adventure59901]

Makerbot is not the only game in town. Look at thefutureis3d . com They have 12"x12" heated build platforms. Makerbot is 100mm x 100mm build area.

RepRaps have been around for a long time. makerbot is the only one getting press.

THIS IS THE ... FUTURE!!!!

I hope Steve Jobs is watching this. If Apple decides to buy this technology, I'll bet they could make an awesome, simple and elegant Makerbot that everyone would want to use. I think they should find a more environmentally friendly way to produce things than simply using plastics. Can the Makerbot make things out of glass, or wood, or aluminum? I'm sure that will be next. Makerbot is awesome with soooooo much potential. This should be shown on the Martha Stewart show.

@vidform Obvious you are a moron with such a comment.

[vidform]

@MrThisIsMeToo Huh? Please explain. Thanks.

[anusclownopt4]

@vidform yeah they can lay layer by layer of heated liquid wood to form objects

[jeffc6676]

cheap homemade plastic trinkets?!! Take THAT China!!!!

[NutNapalm]

@jeffc6676 Holy crap you're right. My optimistic side sees an Arab spring in China's future, but my pessimistic side says they'll go back to their old barbarity before that happens.

if it's affordable for under a thousand, that's pretty cool.  But need a bigger foot print of about 10"x10"

[BrutusJones]

did you copy someone else ? ? you know who I'm talking about.

[KoolaidDRINKER94]

Im going to use the maker bot to make my own maker bot and sell them cheaper.....

LOL...

Excellant! Tons more useless and indestructable plastic objects to be thrown out, pollute land fills and float forever in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

[ronoc9]

@Asiablue chillax. It's not even mainstream yet and you're already saying it caused the holocaust.

[Asiablue]

@ronoc9 A Recycle-bot would have been a better idea.

Holocaust? Please, spare us all the dramatic rhetoric.

[ronoc9]

@Asiablue ur the one for predicted its gonna pollute the ocean and stuff.

[Asiablue]

@ronoc9 Ocean, yes. Holocaust, no. Unless it was burned, every plastic item ever made still exists.

[bigtarrose]

You can make tons of useless items with that!
