Looking for a way to prototype your 3D models quickly, but don't have a lot of room? Desktop Factory may have a solution for you, and for (just slightly) less than $5,000.
If you're going in the opposite direction -- physical to digital -- NextEngine will sell you a 3D object scanner for $2,500 or so.
So for less than ten grand, you can have a pretty complete prototyping rig, in just a few square feet. You could easily fit that into the trunk of a car, you were going for a long drive.
Or you could adapt it into a self-replicating robot . . . thingee. I'm sure their intentions are good, but didn't I see something like that on Stargate?
Thanks to Warren Okuma for the robo-links!

Or that's the spin, anyway. When you're looking for a nice way to say "this stuff isn't selling anymore, so we're going to try and clear it out," you aren't picky. Then again, while we may not be thrilled that a product has outlived its popularity, you might just be in for a great deal. Take a look at our clearance page and enjoy some tasty discounts on misfit merchandise.
