MakerBot in Wired with Garage Mahal
MakerBot is in Wired Magazine this month!
For custom parts fabrication, we chose the MakerBot Industries CupCake CNC Deluxe 3-D printer ($950), which can print objects out of plastic. Five years ago, a machine that could quickly turn a CAD file into a physical object would have cost five times as much. Using simple tools like Google SketchUp, Gambina can spec out gear for his planes and tap into the large MakerBot community for ideas.
You can check it out online, on an iPad, or even on actual paper at your newstand!

The “5 Times as much” is a little off. The cheapest 3d printer is just now only $15,000. Can you get a CNC mill for $5000 ?
