3D Printer Prints Out Portait Taken With Kinect

Microsoft’s Kinect is becoming a homebrewer’s and hacker’s dream platform. This time around, as part of the Fabricate Yourself project, the Kinect uses captured 3D models to print the above 3D figures onto puzzle pieces that snap together. Created by Karl D.D. Willis for the Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction conference, the Fabricate Yourself project prints exactly what the Kinect sees, similar to the Kinect and Minecraft megasculpture project, except this time, prints out something tangible.
