Is Mcor's Matrix The Answer to Practical 3D Printing?

No, it won’t teach you Kung Fu. But what it will do is actually provide a pretty suitable 3D printer for the masses.
Mcor’s Matrix has already been released to the UK, and works with some pretty basic technology. Using some time-honored A4 paper and PVA glue to create complex 3D objects, it provides a nice, cheap alternative to current polymer-based options.
While it won’t be able to make your World of Warcraft character into a FigurePrints quality statuette, it will consume far fewer resources. According to Mcor, up to 40 times less. If something like this is down your alley keep your eyes open in Q1 of 2009, when the Matrix is slated to make its US debut.

Man I can't wait to see the dealers tables at conventions when this thing hits! Imagine all that bootleg knock-off replica swag!
