Although having been around for a good few years, due to availability and affordability 3D printing is for most a relatively new phenomenon. However, with the Cubify 3D printer such limitations are no longer; the printer allows the user not only to manufacture a design in their own home, but also with minimal waste.

After drawing a rather a large crowd at the worldwide Consumer Electronics Show, the desktop sized printer by [3D Systems](http://www.3dsystems.com/?ref=protein.xyz) makes it possible for a person to download a design from the [Cubify](http://www.cubify.com/?ref=protein.xyz) website, customise it to their own individual specifications and voila! As well as creating opportunities for artists by giving each designer a 60% cut per design sale, the Cubify 3D printer uses ABS or 'Number 7' plastic, which is completely recyclable.

The printer will shortly be available for purchase so stay tuned by checking the Cubify [website](http://www.cubify.com/?ref=protein.xyz) for updates and developments as well as information regarding their range of other exciting 3D related products.
