Wow, now I can speak up when this discussion comes up within local conversation. Love what I learn on here, now if I can just retain it. Thanks for all the comments, especially to you SteveH. Your posts sometimes amaze me.

I think the hard part will be getting people to sit down and design the camstacks into a format the 3D printers can use. That too will get easier. I have this idea that if we already have 3D printers, 3D scanners aren't far behind.

There was some talk of 3d scanners when I was reading about the printers. They're in a sort of preliminary stage at the moment, but they're there.
How's this for a heart warming story about 3d printers? http://techcrunch.com/2014/12/16/dog...o-3d-printing/ - ETA: Warning! Grab a tissue first!
Or,.. build your own for $60 http://www.instructables.com/id/eWas...nter/?ALLSTEPS - The geek in me SOOO wants to do this. I probably have enough of those drives around here to make a whole herd of them.
