3D printing has been around for a while but the prospect of actually having one of these badboys on your desktop were slim to none. The price has always been astronomical. But now, Desktop Factory has created a way to reduce the price and give us all the opportunity to scan and print any 3D object we can imagine. The potential uses for this are countless. In this clip you can learn just what the process is and then, of course, how you can get your very own.

You can imagine where this technology will be in 25-50 years. It could really shake things up. Why have cheap stuff built in China when you can print the darn thing right in your home? Imagine the cost savings and environmental benefits by minimizing the need to ship/transport things around the world. Frankly it makes me think that intellectual property will become even more valuable.

thats... kinda hot. espescially if you have someone to paint the thing that comes out so it doesn´t look like a 3 year old did it.
