well I just think the whole conecpt is fantastic and out of the future and almost certainly in a few years time, like all technology, the price will become more reasonable. I'm just blown away by this one

there's no doubt it's a pretty nifty device. in all seriousness though, you can probably expect that one day this type of device(albeit a more advanced version) will be used to make working products.

EDIT: if you watch the video, it's actually a laser cutter/etcher so it's still more or less 2D, and not dissimilar from industrial units, so perhaps not such a HUGE leap in technology. making it run from a desktop is a pretty fair achievement though. IMO the real advance is in the innovation rather than the invention.
