Make Your Own Art Toys with iModela

If you read Albotas, you’ve probably dreamt of making your own line of designer toys at one point or another. I know I have. But I definitely don’t have any sculpting skills. If you’ve got 3D modeling skills, you can go at it with iModela, a tiny additive printer. It fits on your desk, connects via USB, and uses inexpensive materials to print your very own toys. It costs a somewhat reasonable $1,000, but the big question for me is whether it works with third party software.
