3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other additive manufacturing technologies. 3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models that can serve as product prototypes.

There has been large growth in the sale of 3D printers. Additionally, the cost of 3D printers has declined. The technology also finds use in the jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education, GIS, civil engineers, etc.

Wouldn't work in space, wouldn't be able to get the powder to layer freely in 0G... RepRap ftw!

I'm actually more impressed of the 3d scanner than the 3d printer, that it recognized the separate parts of the wrench.

Holy mama...

First thing i wanna do is scanning my dick and print it

[ShesDamnSexy]

wow

[xXbudred123Xx]

put it upside down

I really Hope this does'nt take over our future....it would put so many people out of jobs and make people even more fat and lazy....we cant relly on technology for the rest of our future.

this would all be so much cooler if the scanner actually played the music played at 2:01 as it scans the object

Thanks man that seems like a good price I think I might just buy one soon :D

[jumper0122]

Go buy one. This particular one might not be being sold, but simpler ones, like Makerbot Replicators (top of the line) are readily available. There are hundreds of choices for buying them. The cheapest I've seen is $299, unassembled, and it can print up to 6"x6"x6". Good luck :D

[jumper0122]

It can't. It's a $20k-$40k REVscan, which exclusively uses light (no x-rays or anything crazy). Scanners ALWAYS need touching up after scanning, no matter how good it is. Usually they disassemble and separately scan each piece and reassemble it in CAD before sending it to a printer.
