Yep...we're getting very close to that point with 3D printers...you can get one for $500 now <http://hackaday.com/2012/05/16/silidoodle-a-500-3d-printer/> and very high res ones (< .1mm) based on DLP systems + UV lasers are popping up:<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/b9creations/b9creator-a-high-resolution-3d-printer> There are tons of plans and kits on the market for CNC routers from Dremel-powered ones to mill PCB's to monsters that will take 4x8 sheets of stock. I've even seen one modified to run a plasma cutter. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
