"We got a look at the 3D-printed future at Maker Faire Bay Area here.
At least a dozen companies are offering consumer- and hobbyist-friendly 3D printers now. They range in price from about $800 to $3,000 or more. Some, like the earliest models, can only make small plastic objects no larger than a few inches on a side. The biggest can (or will soon be able to) print objects up to two feet on a side out of a variety of materials, including ABS plastic, PLA plastic, nylon, ceramics, Play-Doh, cupcake frosting, and even hot liquids."

"One of the humbling parts of introducing students to 3D Printing and CAD is when they come up with something so good that it leaves me standing in quiet admiration. Henry, who is taking the class for the first time, has a natural talent for design. He’s produced some neat little designs in the course learning CAD this semester."
