Beam me up Scotty!

Desktop Factory Price-Performance Breakthrough.

IdeaLab's Desktop Factory (DF) Inc. is launching a 3D Printer at a breakthrough price point of £2,500.

Cathy Lewis, CEO of DF, told me that by 2012 the 3D printer will be in the shops at a price point of £495.

The 3D printer will produce low cost, non-toxic, composite nylon prototypes the size of today' mobile cellphones in just under an hour.
