"Behind the two-click simplicity is a powerful and complex reconstruction process. MakerWare for Digitizer contains an algorithm that connects hundreds of thousands of points into a seamless digital mesh in just seconds. There’s no patching, stitching, or repairing required, so you can skip straight to your creative process. We’ve worked hard to create software that saves you time."

"Microfactory is a networked desktop machine to combine additive and subtractive machining in one package. It is capable of: printing functional parts in four colors or multiple materials and computerized etching and computer-controlled milling. It contains printing and milling heads so you are not anymore limited to 3D printer compatible material. You can now print, cut and etch plastics, wood and some light metals."
