[QUOTE="Robert Hunt, post: 78411, member: 1600"] Who said anything about 1000 units? When you want a printout of some PDF file you've found on the internet, would you print it out a thousand times? I'm talking about home users printing out "Ringmasters" that are based on a personal photograph, or re-imagined ramps that change gameplay. At first, you'll see pin owners and small suppliers using 3D printers to modify existing games and even to simply maintain them. But as capabilities increase, you'll eventually see people using them to create entirely new games. As for doubts you express about material quality, I can only point you to similar doubts once expressed by photographers about digital imaging versus emulsion based photography. Progress is geometric. I have zero doubt they'll be able to produce materials with nearly ANY desired characteristic in just another few years. And when that day comes, there won't be much need for production runs of 1000 units. [/QUOTE]
