Woah!  It looks like it will be aimed more at small businesses and schools rather than hobbyists though.  I'll be interested to see if it ends up being as polished as their software is...

While the printer is pretty cool, the interesting part to me is the software they will be developing.  Autodesk-> Spark -> 3Dprinters could be the new Google->android-> phones.

Or maybe not. It will at least be interesting.

This is going to be huge for the entire space.  It will be interesting to get more details on Spark.  This will likely make SLA printing more popular and affordable.
