"We launched late last night and we tried to do it in stealth mode, but apparently we had a lot of people watching us, waiting for our launch, so they jumped on it as soon as we had the page live," said Charles Mire, co-founder of Structur3D Printing. "Nobody's been able to successfully put a paste extruder product on the market, especially one that has printed the variety of materials that we've printed," he said. The device, called the Discov3ry Extruder, can attach to filament-based desktop 3D printers, and lets users print with soft materials like wood filler, silicone, clay and even Nutella. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/3d-printer-device-that-uses-silicone-icing-surpasses-kickstarter-goal-on-1st-day-1.2670755?cmp=rss Is this not really amazing?
