Glowforge is a different kind of 3D printer because it subtracts from organic materials--like plywood, leather, acrylic, and fabric--to make its objects from a laser. Instead of adding layers of plastic, it either cuts or engraves a range of materials to get the desired effect users are looking for. Its software is in the cloud and can synch up with a variety of devices, making the machine more user-friendly and affordable than many others out there. Also, speaking of affordability, right now if you pre-order one to be sent at the end of 2015, you only have to pay half price at $1,995.
