3d Printing

Desktop Factory 125ci 3d Printer

Imagine being able to download the three-dimensional plans for your child's favorite toy, then pressing Print — and out comes not a picture, but the toy itself. That's the idea behind Desktop Factory, a 3-D printer that melts a mixture of nylon, aluminum and glass into durable (albeit small) objects. The technology is still in its infancy, but it's the first of its kind to be marketed to individual consumers.
