I had a dream last night and I call it the “Google Cupcake”. What if Google teamed up with Makerbot/RepRap projects? Now, I love Sketchup and have used it since 2004 and feel like it one of the easiest CAD solutions out there. Bre and his team could easily write a ruby script or some type of plug in that will add Replicator G into the interface> then slice and print from Sketup Free to the Makerbot. As for large CAD architectural projects, the ruby script plugin could scale and slice models for projects like that Church that one guy drew in the Makerbot Blog about a week ago.
Then with Google’s capital, Bre and the Makerbot team can obtain a contract with a domestic or foreign company that will assemble the Makerbots/components (Google Makerbot) and sell them already put together. Now every body who uses Sketchup will want a Makerbot because they don’t have to put it together and they know how to use sketcup. Also, Google and Makerbot could release every thing open source Like they already do.
Also Google and Makerbot can merge http://www.thingverse.com with the Google 3D ware house ware house. This Idea could change the world forever. Seriously a Makerbot in every house with the ease of Sketchup. Imagine “The Bot Cave” as “the Bot Factory” with financial backing and support of Google. I would also like to see a html or plug in so people like myself could embed cad files on websites and blogs like Makerbot.com’s.
Makerbot has already done all of the hard work. Google just needs to invest. Take that Microsoft!!!!
And I would like a job as VP of Educational Sales for Makerbot (aka Google Cupcake)
