Makerbot Cupcake 3D Printer is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by successive layers of material. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than otheradditive manufacturing technologies.
3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models that closely emulate the look, feel and functionality of product prototypes.
MakerBot And 3D Printer is the first of these open source hardware projects that I think is likely to become somewhat mainstream, in that I predict many of us will either soon know someone who has one, or live near a Hackerspace that has one.
CupCake Makerbot 3D Printer worked hard everyday for about a month straight to finish this project
The Makerbot CupCake CNC is a $700 kit that lets you build your own 3D printer, with all necessary parts wrapped in one convenient bundle.
