One of the coolest gadgets that WebProNews saw at CES 2010 was MakerBot’s CupCake CNC. If you’re not convinced of its coolness yet, get ready to be impressed. <br /><br />The device is a 3D printer that allows users to make just about anything they want. First, users create a design in any 3D modeling software or by visiting Thingiverse, which is a community of people who share their designs. <br /><br />After a design is created, MakerBot turns the design into a physical 3D model and the machine starts printing. The objects are made with ABS plastic and can be up to 4″x4″x6″. <br /><br />MakerBot is an open source 3D printer that ranges in price from $750-$950. Not only does WPN think MakerBot is cool, but Google does as well. According to MakerBot Industries the giant search company has purchased multiple devices. <br /><br />Check out their site for more information on MakerBot.
