You can't see it on the video, but I was just barely able to reach the thing from behind a camera which was on a tripod, and would have probably knocked the camera down if I had tried that... so you'll just have to take my word for it :)

@Omega8119 - 3D printing is creating real, 3D objects using a printer, one small layer at a time.

Search "3D Printer" here at Youtube - there's plenty of videos that explain the technology.

You can build a printer for yourself for a few hundred dollars, order one built for you for under two thousand dollars, or mail-order specific 3D models to be printed for you from places like i.materialise and ponoko.
