Print your models in 3D

The website is still in Beta test, but it should be possible in the near future to create something in Blender and let it be printed into a real 3D object for not too much. Too bad I don't see any prices to know what they mean with not too much.

Here is the website

Here is a video explaing how easy it can be to order your own design.

I liked the one that could print almost all of the parts it needed to build a copy of itself better.

I know the technique is not that new anymore, but it was way too expensive for a normal consumer to let a part be printed in 3D.

This is great for the inventors without a large budget so they can design their own parts to make a professional looking prototype.

I can also imagine that someone creating cool models in Blender may want to have a small statue of their design.
