I remember when I first read about Makerbot back in 2009. I think it was in Make magazine or something. I found it very interesting because it brought back memories of college with my old roommate Bob and our dream to make a rapid prototype machine in our dorm room. Those same memories came rushing back again when makerbot received 10M investment last month (and I helped assemble a makerbot for techstars office ). Doing all that assembly work and reading about how the design has evolved/moved forward since I last read about it has me wanting one again. As someone who works with CAD software on a daily basis you would think I would be more actively involved in the DIY community and would own a makerbot or something similar. That is going to change soon.

Also, I stumbled across this company….a rapid prototype company for eyeglasses. Interesting concept. I like the idea of modeling your own glasses. Maybe I will do my next set of frames this way, or just have them made on my own.
