MassHighTech noticed startup company Formlabs has just received a half million USD specifically to create a low-end 3D printer. The team apparently is two gentlemen from the MIT Media lab: Maxim Lobovsky and David Cranor. There are no specifications for the 3D printer, nor even a website for them, as far as we can see. According to Angelist:
Formlabs is developing a high quality, low cost 3D printer that works out of the box. It enables designers and makers to create 3D forms by simply hitting the print button. Formlabs products fuses a novel additive manufacturing technology with a unique design-centric approach to achieve an incredible user experience yet to be seen in 3D printing.
Putting this one on the watch list.

@Natasha – No idea, but it should be interesting as they seem to be very well funded.
@Rachel – Yah, I noticed that too. There's something happening lately, and I feel a post coming out next week about this. BTW, great report on Euromold on your blog!

Is your head spinning with all these new machines?? Mine is!
Fabbster, Printrbot, Pico, Voxeljet 1000, Matsuura, TNO's big one and now this — all in one week.

When will they release the printer? Keep us posted. Thanks a lot!
