Bruce Sterling beat me to it more than a few years back, and I'll bet Sven Johnson has mentioned it more than once, not to mention countless others.

hopes to make manufacturing using multiple materials accessible to home users. Multiple materials means people have constructed objects that vary from embedded circuits to hors d'oeuvres. We can't talk about edible prototyping without bringing up the CandyFab machine, which fuses sugar. The Hacktory has enjoyed their machine so far, but have found the learning curve fairly difficult. While it's great to see the cost of rapid prototyping dropping, we'll be much happier when the ease of use improves.

While I've seen folk do similar work in Rhino, this tool seems way easier (if not as precise with it's non-NURBS basis). I see us using this in the (very near) future to make some complex light fixtures. Or at least some complex sugar structures! Check out the gallery for some very impressive models, and then fire up those 3D printers!

drawings of the casing for users to develop if they wish.  There have been advances recently in other fields that will allow for rapid distribution and testing of open-source machines via 3d printing.  If you haven’t seen it already, check out the candyfab, a low-cost 3d printer that uses sugar as the medium.  These printers will only become more capable and cheaper as they are developed, which might make it possible to download the plans for a piece of equipment or labware and print it out immediately,

"Make Some Characters. Make Some Moods. Make Some Comics!" Instructables "The World's Biggest Show & Tell." There's so much good stuff on this site. The two that grabbed my eye at the Maker Faire were LED Throwies and Thai Iced Tea. Candy Fab "The Revolution will be Caramelized." Checkout their amazing creations on their 3D sugar printer.

　最近、立体表現演習で延々と作業を繰り返したり、自分の造形技術の無さに落胆するのと同時に、The CandyFab Project を見てから、3Dプリンターが作りたくてたまらない。3Dでなくても、レーザーカッターみたいな機械が欲しい。大学には、RP用の3Dプリンター（数千万円する）がある。
