I definitely enjoyed last week's cover article.
But I thought the follow-up piece was even more interesting as it went into more detail.

I am excited for this new technology and if one of those firms were publicly traded, I would invest in it.

Hi Folks,
Rapid prototyping has been around a while. I first was exposed to it in about '89.
Certainly not an end all, but it's widly accepted industrially. The most bisarre thing
we "printed" was a human skull with a tumor, took the information from an MRI, next
day the model was in the hands of a surgeon for review so he could form his procedure.
All kinds of neat stuff
Cheers.

Jay Leno' Garage had a piece about something similar several years ago. At the time I think it was 10K for the scanner and printer that would make 3D models. He used it to fabricate parts for his antique cars or at least the models for the eventual parts. Really fantastic tech!
