Roll your own. Not only that, replicate the machine to roll your own. Welcome to the world of RepRap, the open source 3D printer that promises to change everything about manufacturing.Cost:
Software - free as in Open Source
Hardware - $400 off the shelf components, a figure far lower than any 3D printer currently on the market.
Blurbs that caught my eye:
"The promise of advanced fabrication technology that can copy itself is a truly remarkable concept with far reaching implications."
- James Dyson, 17 April 2007.
"[RepRap] has been called the invention that will bring down global capitalism, start a second industrial revolution and save the environment..."
- James Randerson on the front page of The Guardian on November 25, 2006.
Any questions?
