as neat as this, how much more crap are 3D printers creating that are going to end up in the land fills?

That they have a site with some 3d products and I can use their software

it would probably work in autodesk inventor since you can "save copy as" and turn the file into any type of file

@fusionacity Right now this is about the best it can do: watch?v=qQneU_87Nco

This interview really didn't do justice to the MakerBot.

Right now it's nto practical, but give it a few years, and you'll have something amazing.

Just want to suggest that if you have any money to invest in the stock market at all...SSYS and ADSK have risen steadily since summer...DDD is more stable...but if you can, invest in these 3-D printing companies. I did because I see them as long term winners...
