FigurePrints Makes Minecraft Real With 3-D Printers

wired.com: One of the fun things about traveling to a distant land is bringing back a souvenir to remember the journey. That’s easy enough when visiting France or China, but what about trips to the World of WarCraft? Or time spent creating your own land in Minecraft? Those digital provinces were once resigned to verbal description, or at best, screenshots emailed to friends. But now, FigurePrints has figured out how to use 3-D printers to create a gift shop for electronic explorers.

They keep lowering the prices like every 6 months. Very soon they will hit a good mass market price. Can't wait. I also believe some companies will become obsolete when this happens. This may bring manufacturing back to the USA lol

Lets hope they become affordable for the normal consumer in 5-10 years maybe even sooner.
