perhaps i was the only one here unaware of this project, but since
it was slashdotted today, i thought i'd mention it here. a research
team at cornell has come up with a DIY 3D printer project that you
can build for $2400.

from the brief scan of their site that i've done, it looks to be
a x-y bed with a long z axis that holds a syringe of stuff that
makes the object. the s/w seems to be windows only.
i'd be pretty shocked if there weren't a huge overlap between the
s/w needs of that project and the software provided by EMC. after
(this project takes away material, theirs puts it back. :-)
