The Z Corporation ZPrinter 450 represents a middle-of-the-road solution to your 3D printing needs.

What is 3D printing? Imagine working with your favorite 3D modelling software, and when you hit the "Print" button, instead of getting a piece of paper with a picture of your creation, you get an actual 3D plastic model in full color.
It's here, today, now. For a cool $39,999 USD you can have the 3D printer of your dreams. Oh sure, a cheaper monochrome model exists, as well as a top-end ultra-high resolution edition, but for everyday fantasies the Z450 can't be beat. Like I'd know -- if I had $40K to drop on a printer the damn thing better come with beer taps and print real money.
But patience is your friend. Remember when color laser printers cost as much as a car? Now you can have one for the same price as a week's car rental. I expect the same thing to happen with 3D printing.
But until that day comes, you'll have to do things oldschool.
