    I think it'd be better if it did Radiation Ruling the Nation instead. But, that's still cool to have that tidbit in there.

    @SmritaMalinky: Thank you for the information. :)

    Too bad your website has been smashed with the Iron Bar of Gizmodo linking.

    Incredible! I am designing a small electronic device and need to design the enclosure for it; this printer would revolutionize the industrial design phase of prototyping. For small devices like consumer electronics and pro audio peripherals the properties of a wood-like casing are more than sufficient, and indeed possibly lighter than metal/plastic casings. I WANT one of these printers... droool.

    Any chance the 1st gen printers could be under the $3K USD/CDN price point? I would save up every penny to buy one of these!

    This will extend "piracy" into a new dimension, no pun intended. As one of the above posters pointed out, should this machine make it to the general public, making model figures for gaming will become a point and click sort of thing. You'll see at least a few gaming companies behaving like RIAA as they try to track down gamers who are file-swapping the CAD-CAM files needed to "print" out a game figurine.

    OK, so again I wil make a request to be a Giz technical adviser. Just saying.

    This is very similar to a machine over 15 years called the LOM. Laminated object manufacturing. It worked exactly the same way except it cut the paper with a laser. It had the ability to make very large parts. The negative though was speed, accuracy, and delamination(this is where the part falls apart over time because it absorbs water) of parts due to humidity. I would assume this machine would have the same problems. I assume the knife cutting system will be much cheaper than the laser but you will need to replace it often and it can't be as accurate. Please the the cricut machine. It sells for $200 ish but can't stack layer like this thing. Also, you can't make hollow parts so the end product can be very dense.

    That said if they can sell it under $1000 they should have a winner.

    But how much will one unit cost??? Right now the best I've seen is $25000 for monochrome and $50000 for color.
