Currently seeking backers on indiegogo, the FABtotum<\/a> might just be the ultimate desktop fabricator.<\/p>\n

\"fabtotum<\/p>\n

More than just an FDM 3D printer, the unit also has 2D milling suitable for carving everything from wood to circuit boards, with 4 axis machining which is also amazing for a desktop unit but it also includes a 3D scanner so you can go from real world to digital. <\/p>\n

If the team from Milan can deliver on their promise based on their initial prototype, this might be one of the most disruptive stand alone machines to hit the market.<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Their indiegogo campaign is looking to raise $50,000 with over $20,000 already raised and 47 days to go it is very likely we will get to see the FABtotum<\/a> realized and shipped early 2014. The early bird special of $849 for the assembled unit is already sold out but you can still pick up a kit for $999 including shipping or $1099 for an assembled unit.<\/p>\n
