Best of CES : Thing-O-Matic by Makerbot!

Sunday, January 9, 2011

While guest blogging for Logitech at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, I got to see a lot of neat technology and meet a lot of rad people, like Bre Pettis, the CEO of Makerbot Industries! This open-source 3D printer from MakerBot really deserved to be shown…it is a lot of fun to watch things be made, check it out!

Here are some molds MakerBot fans have created:

Gothic Cathedral Play Set

makerbot creation 2

OpenSCAD Helical Gears

3d printer

Parametrized Lego Bricks

If you could make a 3D print of anything, what would it be?

About the Author

is a girl that's been playing video games since she came out of the womb. 22 years later I decided to share these pent-up opinions about the industry, games, my likes and dislikes and everything in between. I also dabble with Linux and make a vain attempt at helping others dabble as well. Actually, I just like the word 'dabble'.

    My 3D print would be a little llama playing with computer (but I admit I don’t know which position it should adopt…), and of course it would be a present for you ♥

    • eleno

      no that would defy the laws of physics and create a new universe stranger than our own.

    I would have to make it print out ultra realistic bacon to use as currency after Dec 21st 2012… or maybe just cheesy promotional pen holders!
