Remember how fast the price of color laser printers went down? Same story here; this is just the first salvo across the bows.
Tinkerers, schemers, makers and DIY-buffs: grab your ball-peen hammer and heaviest piggy bank, because you're about to need a loan. A company called Desktop Factory is going to make your 3D-printing dreams a serious reality with the introduction of its 125ci 3D printer, a $4,995 hunk of concept-plastic magic which could possibly represent a paradigmatic shift for the state of three-dimensional printing for the masses.The interesting thing is that this isn't one of the "open source" projects -- they're planning to make money selling it.
