    Retro Populator - Pick-n-place 3D Printer Add-on

    Have you ever wanted to be able to 3D print items as well as create your own circuit boards? Well now you can, thanks to a man named Eric Boyd, who has created what he called the Retro Populator. The Retro Populator is a 3D printer add-on which converts the 3D printer into a pick-n-place machine. Read more about this invention at: http://3dprint.com/10973/retro-populator-pick-n-place/
