Everyday you print letters on paper but what if you could design a 3D model on your PC and a full blown three dimensional object came out of your printer? This may seem far fetched but the technology has been available for several years and now you can access it just like anyone else. Instead of spending a fortune on a 3D printer yourself you can upload designs to the website of startup Shapeways and order your 3D object by mail or open a shop for your objects and let others order it from Shapeways. Exciting stuff! If your unfamiliar with 3D design you can even use models others have uploaded! Check it out at:
