This is a very interesting interview with Bre Pettis, the Founder of Makerbot on Bloomberg. In the interview Pettis argues that 3D printing is the future, and why we all need a Makerbot replicator for $1375. The commentators on the show press Pettis pretty hard and even go as far as saying it costs $70 for filament to make a shoe. Pettis quickly jumps in and says $5, to which they had no response.
