Makerbot’s “Cupcake” is the most exciting product making headlines in this year’s CES. 3D CNC printers used to be almost exclusively found in engineering labs, and were definitely not commonplace for the at home DIY enthusiast. With the Makerbot, it is now possible for someone with an extra $750* burning a hole in their pocket to purchase a kit to make a 3D printer.
A neat part about this project is that there is an online community that shares data for objects.
Check out the video of Makerbot’s CES booth:
(Warning: some foul language. Wired’s reporter uses the word Legos. Lego with an s on the end is just painful to listen to)
*the video quotes the cupcake at $950, but it is listed as $750 on makerbot’s website
