For people who have always wanted to print models they can't handle without ruining them!
I think it's pretty neat, you could move the clay and build plate into a kiln and bake that sucker.

Ceramic parts can be very strong. I like where they are headed with this.
Before I read the other comments, my first thought was using a polymer clay (Sculpey, FIMO, etc.) that could then be baked in a kitchen oven for a hardened part. After reading the other comments, I see I was thinking a bit small. Printing in clay then kiln-firing could lead to some really neat prints.
And another thought is this will make for some nifty at-home stop-motion animation capabilities. Print out plasticine models, then pose and film them. No worries about molds or mold degradation. Just print a new model when needed.
It's been done

Heh, thanks. It could definitely reduce the time of the process, making it more doable.
Oooh, or what about a dual extruder set-up, using ABS for the print material and clay or something similar for the support material? Removal of support would be a breeze.

1000+ posts and I'm a troll for making a joke? There's already a thread here from 4/1 when that came out.

Most of us know better, Chris...
Besides this is a real-life application rather than a ThinkGeek fluff piece...
Personally I think it's genius, but I don't know that I'd invest the money in it as I don't have a use for it... unless it extrude Chocolate, which I think is a bit too thin for it. I know there's a home brew push extruder that I'd like to try some day.

I was just teasing, lighten up.
