3D printing for the masses!

Wednesday, May 12, 2010


Perhaps, like me, you've heard about this 3D printing stuff and really wanted to try it for yourself but had no access to the technology. Well, the good folks at Shapeways have now made it possible for anybody to print 3D objects. Basically anything you can make a 3D computer model of, they can print. Send them your model, and they'll send it back as a physical object.

The prices aren't cheap, but the results look pretty good. I'm eager to try this out, and when I do I'll report back on my findings.

About This Blog

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
