Imagine it. Your baby daughter innocently breaks a piece of your son's model airplane infliction sibling rivalry flared out of control. No problem, visit the web site at Revel, .99 pay for the replacement, download 3D file and hit print. In less time than is required to drink a cup of java, you have a replacement ready to block again, and his plane "flies again.

3D printing, or rapid prototyping, has been around for almost ten years, but mainly in the field of automobile manufacturers and industrial designers.

Well, that in the future may indeed be now thanks to a company called IdeaLab, which is set to release Desktop plant, the 3D printer for the office. About the size of a laser printer on steroids, the Desktop uses plastic powder factory, a halogen lamp and drum printing technology to build parts layer by layer - slicing, targeting parts to create optimal performance.



Then all that's left is to part sand and paint as needed.

With the target price of $ 5000 - 7000, Desktop factory was still beyond the reach of the average homebody, but if it catches on with the office, you can bet that the consumer class for the price of one thousand dollars is not that far behind.
