This 3D home printer by Cube weights only 8 1/2 pounds and can print virtually anything you ask it to — with the help of the printer software.
Like 3D televisions, home 3D printers are still some ways off a “reasonable” price point for many consumers, but if you have about $1,300 for the Cube , it will be well worth it!

You, too, can have all of the cheap plastic garbage you can dream up. This is really going to hit the cheap plastic garbage market hard.
Sweet! I can just make something instead of buy it! Great for making gifts too!
3D printing will have as profound effects on everyday life as the personnel computer did over the past 30 years. I look at this product and think of the Commodore VIC 20 or the first Apple Macintosh; toys for “geeks”. As the technology matures it will impact everyone from “makers” to astronauts (on your way to Mars and need to replace a broken engine mount? Print one up).
