Bre Pettis said the Replicator 2.0 was aimed at the "prosumer" - either a
design professional or a hardcore hobbyist. The device costs $2,199
(£1,360) and builds objects up in layers only 100 microns thick. In
previous versions, each layer was about 270 microns thick.

This, and a laser scanner, and you can
make your own copy of a Neanderthal
or Hobbit skull.  Or maybe a case for
that RPi.  A bust of your very own head?

The technology has been around for
decades, but clearly is getting cheaper,
and better.  It must have some real
uses....  e.g. prototyping, modelling,
etc.
