One of the coolest gadgets that WebProNews saw at CES 2010 was MakerBot’s CupCake CNC. If you’re not convinced of its coolness yet, get ready to be impressed.
The device is a 3D printer that allows users to make just about anything they want. First, users create a design in any 3D modeling software or by visiting Thingiverse, which is a community of people who share their designs.
After a design is created, MakerBot turns the design into a physical 3D model and the machine starts printing. The objects are made with ABS plastic and can be up to 4″x4″x6″.
MakerBot is an open source 3D printer that ranges in price from $750-$950. Not only does WPN think MakerBot is cool, but Google does as well. According to MakerBot Industries the giant search company has purchased multiple devices.

That is the coolest thing ever!! Abby always reports on the coolest, cutting edge technology!!
Definitely pretty neat. It’d be great for prototyping, or just having fun making unique things. I think they need a bigger one, though, so we could make full sized robots.
This idea has reached a whole new level with the help of online blogging services that you can take anywhere. Since most users spend more time online, blogs like help them kick their research into overdrive, Jefferson Threatt

Howdy! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I came to give it a look. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Outstanding blog and excellent style and design.
Man, this has got to be one of the coolest gadgets out there. The possibilities are endless,
This is the best weblog for anyone who desires to find out about this topic. You notice so much its nearly hard to argue with you (not that I actually would need…HaHa). You positively put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just nice!
