[Tfug] 3D printing/prototyping suggestions

[Timothy D. Lenz]

I have heard that Office Max, or one of the office places was looking 
into offering 3d printing. Their system basicly layers up paper and 
laser cuts as it goes. You might want to look at the sites that offer 
DIY printers. People who buy/build them then offer printing services. 
Best bet would be the RepRap site:

For metal parts, this place even has a cad program to lay out the part, 
pick the materials, figure out what it will cost and place the order:
