Forbes: MakerBot Thing-o-Matic

I was browsing a recent Forbes Magazine article on 3-D printing.  In this article they discussed how Golan Levin, a Carnegie-Mellon professor solved a problem of connecting a variety of different toys together.


He measured the pieces of various toys to within three microns and with those measurements you can build connecting pieces with a 3-D printer such as the MakerBot's Thing-o-Matic.


Very cool...
