    In the future, you need a Mego Star Trek phaser or Ape knife...
    You just come to Mego Museum and download them

    Very Cool! My brother, who is an Engineering professor, told me about these a few years ago. They had one on loan and he got to play whith it. Theirs had interchangeable media, you could use wood or plastic and it was all CAD driven. Very cool stuff, thanks for posting Mikey... BTW, anybody got 15k laying around

      I had heard of these using paper mulch stuff...Kinda like the stuff that fast food drink trays are made from. Very cool. This could really change a lot of how we operate...

          Jurassic Park III (2001) has a nice scene featuring a machine like this

          Being in the jewelry business---I've seen these type of things for years
          but have never found them monetarily practical to use for our means---
          well, maybe one day all of us'll have one to use at our whim----hopefully soon

            So I wonder how many photos you would need to get a head made...
            I know of a company that back in the 80's used a process similar to this to make busts of company executives but that involved shooting the head from all sides in a complete 360 degree loop.

                I was about to say that the first step will be the home version and the next would be the kid's version. Like a an Easy Bake Oven.

                After Paul's comment, it just felt kind of dirty.

                  Doesn't take much imagination to see how they could sell some of their stuff online... truth is, hate to say, we wouldn't have the WWW as it is today without the commercial impetus of adult entertainment.

                    I read that article in the paper edition of the Times a few days ago. I only remember that toy-duck-like object & recall that it struck me as somewhat rough & crude. The other examples in the color photo--from the online version you linked to--are more impressive.

                    On the subject of Easy-Bake Ovens, there was a huge recall just a couple of months ago. You'd think that after manufacturing some version of the Easy Bake Oven for decades that they'd have figured out how to make it safe by now.

                          Something like this was featured on Tactical to Practical last year, no? They laser scanned the hosts head and mad an asction figure of him in a matter of hours. Theirs used sliced paper and a resin spray.

                            One of the Micropolis Embassy gang has one of these small-scale rapid prototyping machines. He's used it so far to make the masters for resincast models of the Micronauts comic space ship ENDEAVOR, and the body parts for an original magno-figure that he sold kits of:
