Check out that printer in the bottom left hand of the image. That is a 3d modelling ‘printer’. It creates one off prototypes of anything you can model in 3d software. Amazing

This object is the color registration test print that this printer spits out to calibrate itself. Amazing.

More of the cool prototype objects that have been created with this 3d printer. You can have one for only $28,000. 🙂

I also met the other Core77 bloggers. They’re great. I hope I get a chance to kick it with them some before they head back home to America. 🙂
