MakerBot Replicator: Worlds 1st 3D printer!!

MakerBot just took the wraps off the Replicator, a new 3D printer that solves one of the technologys biggest problems at the moment printing large.

It also offers up the companys Dualstrusion technology, making it possible to print in two colours. The Replicator can take either ABS (the plastic found in Lego) or biodegradable PLA plastic, you can experiment with using different printing materials at the same time, expanding the already practically limitless creation possibilities.

Before the company launched, Bre Pettis asked me how cool it would be if you could simply print out a set of forks if you ran out of them. No need to run to the store, just download an open-source plan and print it out on a machine. I replied 'Sounds cool', thinking we were nowhere near that day. Well it seems WE ARE!!
