Glowforge bills itself as an “iconic 3-D Laser printer” that “makes magical things at the push of a button.” Of course, those of us that remember the 90s remember when laser printers were all the rage, but it is important to note that 3-D printers are not really printers at all. The Glowforge FAQs point out that their product is not really a printer but a “CNC laser cutter engraver” that can cut shapes out of, or engrave designs into, solid pieces of leather, wood, acrylic, or chocolate. In order for your creations to really be 3-D, you kind of have to glue those pieces together layer by layer. But you can print up some cool things with it… if you can afford the $4700 price tag. And I am not sure I would be ready to stick my Mac-book into this machine to let it engrave designs on it. But the video makes it look you can create all kinds of things – like a rubber band shooting drone” – or engrave designs on all kinds of existing things (clothes, food, books, etc). Someday we all may just need our own FabLab room next to the laundry room or office it seems.
