Getting Physical - 3d Printers

Prototype made on the Z510I saw this the other day on Core77 and although I find most of the picture frames pretty goofy, their use of the ZPrinter is very cool. As I watched the YouTube video, I had the same feeling that I did about 15 years ago when I first saw what you could do with Photoshop – that’s magic! I want it.

Granted, the ZPrinter’s price range of $19-50K will surely keep it off most folk’s Christmas list, but that’s what makes a company like Jujups so smart. It’s going to be a while before these are priced to a place where consumers can by them. In the mean time, I think there’s a tremendous market for companies to offer the production services for interested and creative people.

But please, put some thought into the user experience. The Jujup site doesn’t even begin to represent the power of what they have to offer and I’d hate to see them fail for that reason.
