HP announces 3D printer range
,----[ Quote ]
| The 3D printers from HP are designed to be
| cheap, but will struggle to compete with
| open-source designs like the MakerBot.
|
| [...]
|
| Thankfully, other innovators are stepping
| up to fill the gap: from the completely DIY
| RepRap, which is built on the von Nuemann-
| esque concept of a 3D printer capable of
| printing other 3D printers, to the kit-form
| MakerBot which offers an open-source
| alternative to HP's new range with kits
| starting at just $750 (Â460).

| the field of open-source robotics
| generally. It could allow researchers to
| draw on common hardware and software
| programs for robots instead of needing to
| start from scratch, hopefully advancing the
| field of robotics.
