Interesting proposition from Hong Kong based Makible, they’re looking for funders for the $300 ($350 actually for the base donation) 3D printer that they are developing. You can read more about it here, here’s the page where you can fund the project , for the minimum amount of $350 you will receive a Makibox A6 Kit. I’m assuming that shipping cost is not included in that donation?

I was curious about the announcement of 3D systems for Cubify in this article. According to the post its going to directly compete with Makerbot’s thingiverse, but it seems that it also has its sight set for Shapeways. Its still in its beta phase however.

Interesting article here from Technology Review about 3D Printing that works to counter this other article. What got me interested however was a link to this other article from that post on how the Warhammer developer issued a DMCA takedown notice on a 3D printing site for sharing 3D plans of its toy designs.

Announced a few days back was the release of the Beta version of Autodesk 123D Catch. Its a software that will allow you to convert photographs into 3D models. Check out the video above for the intro. It’s basically a rebranding of the Photofly project that they announced before.
