Mojo 3D Printer

The Stratasys corporation has just released their 3D "Mojo" Printer. "The Mojo 3D Print Pack is the lowest priced professional grade complete 3D Printing System. It is priced at $9,900, measures 64 x 53 x 46, and has a 5 x 5 x 5 inch building platform. The printer has been designed to use an innovative alliterative to traditional FDM material extrusion machines. The material spool and printer head are integrated into a single system, the "QuickPack Print Engine". A fresh print head is used with each material change, to provide reliability. It is changed the same way an inkjet cartridge is changed on a paper printer. The following is a quote from Stratasys VP of Global Marketing, Jon Cobb:
"The name Mojo implies magic, which is how some describe 3D printing upon first witnessing it,"-"You can buy a less expensive 3D printer, but for the serious designer or engineer, Mojo is the lowest-priced product that offers professional-quality output, comes as a complete package system, and uses industrial-grade thermoplastic material. I expect this will be of interest not just to engineers and educators, but entrepreneurs and independent designers as well."

    That... is awesome. So pretty much you can design something on your computer using a 3-D program, and this printer makes it into a 3-D sculpture? That is so cool, if only our school had the budget to get one.

    This printer sounds unreal, it's like an interactive/computerized ceramics class. However $1,000 for a printer is a bit outrageous, regardless of all the tricks it can do. Do you desire to have this printer and would you be willing to pay that much for it?
