I was talking to the shop teacher at the VoTech part of our HS, he is a former pattern maker and he was showing me some of the cool toys he has in his class room, The 3D printer being the most ho-hum of them all. One thing is a machine that will take a 2D image and make a 3D model of it. It's really insane, all the crap these machines can do in a few minutes to an hour, while the operator needs little more than the skill required to operate a coffee maker.
