All your facets are belong to us
I seem to be signed up for the Shapeways 3d-printing beta (www.shapeways.com).
Which means, I can send any old 3d file (STL, Collada, X3D) off to a nice man in Holland, and it'll come back in white plastic for two bucks per CC.
If it's hollow, the volume inside doesn't count, so it isn't even ruinously expensive.
Clearly, we are now living in the future. I wonder what it's for ?
And, who knows about 3d design software ? The stuff I've tried in the past has always seemed rather intractable.
