$499 3-D Printer Drew Plenty of Attention at CES (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on Monday January 27, 2014 @05:35AM from the next-year-maybe-we'll-have-4-dimensional-printing dept.

3-D printing is far from new, but a $499 3-D printer is new enough to get a bunch of people to write about it, including someone whose headline read, CES 2014: Could 3D printing change the world? XYZPrinting, the company behind the da Vinci 1.0 printer, has some happy-looking executives in the wake of CES. They won an award, and their booth got lots of attention. This is what trade shows are all about for small and/or new companies. Now the XYZprinting people can go home and pump out some product -- assuming they got a lot of orders (and not just attention) at CES.

The killer application of 3d printers will be to print a new back to the battery compartment in remote controls

No, not again. I... why does it say time jam when there is no time jam? I swear to God, one of these days, I just kick this piece of shit out the window.
