this is so awesome...i really want to make a replica of my arm...

he talks so much about sharing but there is no way people will just just give out their creations for free. sure it will work on small things like forks and lego bricks but when you get to bigger items that really take a lot of effort people will want money for the designs. i dont see a future where people will just share their ideas for free. i see a future where you can buy designs for creatable items such as toys and tools over the internet and then make them yourself.

I've started making my own rapid prototyping machine and now I find out that Pettis my 7th grade art teacher was a founding member of makerbot (and knows MC Frontalot)
