Like many technological things, if you wait long enough, the price will come down and the quality will go up.

Not sure if this technology will take the place of model kits, but I see it being an alternative to resin casting for some!

You know I suspect that at some point it will be like going to kinko's and bring you tablet, laptop or phone or maybe a tumb drive then plug it in and and let the printer make it.then pay them when it is done.you would not have to own a expensive machines.but we are a little ways away from that now

I can see businesses offering up the ability to "print" your design like Chris describes above. I would be interested in being able to get some copies of parts I have in my stash, especially if they weren't readily available in resin or kit form.

Getting closer!

I see the next page of our hobby right there.

...I was thinking about a small lathe when my overtime cheque pays out, but I gotta say that this, or something like it, would sure get more use! I will wait, however--I still remember what my younger brother paid for his brand new Sony CD player when they first came out...I have YET to pay that much for a used car. I do see this as potentially damaging for resin casters, but only the ones that sell warped shapes of pinhole-riddled bodies....Folks like Don and Carol (And some others) will still be OK.
