Go to the Revel website, download the 3D file for the specific object and start printing.
3D printing aka rapid prototyping has been around for quite some time, but it was mainly used by automobile manufacturers and industrial designers. As technology grows, the machine now is cheap enough to be able to buy it.
Desktop Factory is a new 3D printer for the office. The printer uses plastic powder, drum printing technology and a halogen lamp.
The price for this printer is between $5,000 and $7,000 - so it might be used mainly in offices as the price is still high.

The printer is so small, it's perfect to attach to any handheld device.
Zink, the company behind this small printer, is a spin-off of Polaroid. This cool product was featured in the New Scientist Tech magazine.
To create the perfect colors, the printer uses a method that controls the colors by using temperature. The crystals in the top yellow layer need the highest temperature and shortest time to melt, the magenta (which is the middle layer) needs a lower temperature and longer time, the bottom cyan layer requires the lowest temperatures and longest exposure time.
The printed images look great and are water proof. This gadget is expected to be available late 2007 for about $200.
