    I like Moment of Inspiration (MoI.) It's a NURBS modeler, sort of a scaled down version of Rhino.

    The Transamerica tower is missing, and they have buildings there that don't yet exist. I think this is a fictionalized version of what it could look like in the future. It's still pretty neat,...

    Send it out to someplace like i.materialize or Moddler or Shapeways. :p Seriously though, high-end finish requires high-end machines. Instead of making the models yourself, have you thought...

    A 3D printer is basically just a 3-axis CNC machine with an extruder on it instead of a router. Do a Google search on DIY CNC Machine and you'll find lots of ideas. The main difference is that...

    The number of printers in people's homes is pretty small. Quadrupling a small number still leaves you with a fairly small number.

    FDM machines just don't pass muster for the types of models I usually want to create. I want a finish that's close to the injected-molded styrene models that I'm used to building. I designed the HO...
