Those commercial 3D printers sure are gittin' purty

Some commercial 3D printers are very pretty. This one prints in colored plastic and is intended to create prototypes in a few hours that can be shown to managers or customers. The claimed resolution of this thing (presumably in all three dimensions) is 450 dots per inch. Drool.

In twenty years, all the patents for this printer will have expired, and it will be possible for hobbyists to make such pretty stuff at such high resolution. Hmm, thinking more about that inclines me to start an economics blog, since I blog about economics a lot elsewhere.
