Laser Cutters For Hobbyists
When introducing the Shape Blog we mentioned that in addition to discussing design protection, we would be tracking the advent of personal fabrication.
Today's New York Times has a profile of the TV writer J.J. Abrams, the creator of the shows 'Alias' and my current addiction, 'Lost.' When asked about his hobbies, Abrams notes that:
"I have this laser cutter, and I take sketches my kids made, scan them, and use the cutter to make two-dimensional rendering.'
The base model unit of the VERSALASER is available here for $5000, the imagining cartridges start at $2,695.
