We have been following the open source version for some time and its looking promising.

As Greg says when the 3D printer is as ubiquitous as the inkjet then 3D model printing will be just part of everyday life.

Indeed perhaps the new file sharing issue will be design’s to print out house hold objects, furniture etc…

I love the idea of the open source movement grabbing this market by the horns. Granted, commercial 3D printers are now at a price point that small architectural firms can purchase them.. but image what might happen when the 3D printer is as ubiquitous as the inkjet printer? Can you imagine 10 year olds building objects for art class?

Reprap or not, I can’t wait to be able to afford a printer with a paycheque or to.

The prices of 3D printing are obviously falling but the idea of a £300 open source device that replicates itself is very cool.
