Filed under: Peripherals It looks like the slow crawl towards a consumer 3D printer continues with Objet’s newest outing, the Alaris 30. The relatively compact peripheral uses something called PolyJet Photopolymer Jetting to produce 600 x 600 dpi objects up to 11.5 x 7.7 x 5.9 inches in size (not too shabby when compared to the 5-inch cube of last year’s Desktop Factory offering)

Now, if only RIM / AT&T would let the thing get through testing , we’d be all set to contribute to those margins here in the US.
