I have a Makerbot Thing-o-Matic. Very real. I'm building a 3D scanner,
so I will soon have a 3D photocopy system...

I just bought an add-on to my 3D printer that will allow printing in
fondant or royal icing (wedding cake toppers?), peanut butter, liver
sausage (doggie birthday cakes) or any paste that can be extruded...

For the printer, export as .stl, and then the printer s/w converts to
gcode for output. I'm not about other formats at this point, as I'm
still acquiring the pieces I need and haven't looked at the software
(Meshlab).

According to the documentation "Meshlab is capable of exporting the
watertight mesh into a variety of file formats such as .STL, .OBJ,
.PLY, .3DS and .U3D among others. This makes it a great tool for
converting your mesh into a format that can be imported into a 3D
modeling program such as 3D Studio Max, Silo 3D, Blender or to
integrate your file into .PDF file using Adobe Acrobat 9."

As for size I think "that depends". I've seen sample scans of people's
heads, and from the waist up.

The kit I'm playing with is "experimental".

You can follow the links from here
<http://store.makerbot.com/makerbot-3d-scanner.html> if you weant to
poke around and see what other folks have been doing with it.

No common scanner will show the axle on which the adjuster turns.
Industrial x-ray will.
Maybe they touched up the scan to show the hidden parts before feeding
it to the printer.
If so they glossed over this.

I love the 21st century.

This is the one that blows me away: 3d printers that print
in collegen. You print a human organ, seed it with stem cells,
and bake for a couple of weeks.

The part at the end where he puts on a rubber glove, reaches into a
jar, pulls out this blob and says "this is a human kidney; we printed
it back stage this morning" truly blew me away.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! She's one of my favorite women of all time. I fell in
lust with her after seeing her first flick, _Ruby in Paradise_.

Dunno 'bout a working plastic model of her, though...
Maybe Real Doll can clone her...

http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page has designs for hobbyists that will
print copies of itself (or most of it), among other things.

The "printing" of solid objects has been around for a while. This seems to
be many levels above though. While it seems impossible to do, so was the
box that sits in your living room with the guy inside entertaining you.

I fantasized, and had a recurring dream, as a six year old in 1949, that
one day I would own a book that had all the books in the world on it and
I could read it without turning pages.

The eBook is now a common item.

Over 40 years ago, when first introduced to digital computers, I
fantasized that one day I could digitize all my prized "stuff" and store
them on a computer, instead of on a shelf.

Seems like that is also coming to pass ...

It's great to be around to see these dreams/fantasy's come true.

ITMT,think I'll keep fantasizing/dreaming.

Ashely Judd, I'm waiting ... ;)
