3D Printing

Wow... Go from CAD design to prototype in minutes. Prices start at $19,900 for Z Corp's printer that produces models up to 8" x 10" x 8". The largest printer can produce 20" x 24" x 16" models in plaster or starch-based materials. Many major manufacturers including Harley Davidson, Sony, Adidas, BMW, and Ford already use this technology. This is Star Trek stuff... Soon enough we'll be downloading and printing food!
