MakerBot debuts the Digitizer 3D scanner, allows scanning physical objects into the digital world
MakerBot debuts Digitizer 3D scanner that allows 3D objects to be scanned to CAD files.
At the SXSW conference, MakerBot showed off a new product that could revolutionize 3D printing. Known as the Digitizer 3D scanner, the new prototype allows users to easily scan real-world 3D physical objects into digital CAD files that can then be printed out on your MakerBot printer.

Essentially, as MakerBot CEO Bre Pettis put it, "it's possible for a MakerBot to make a MakerBot. But I'm cool with that." The best part of having a product like this is that it is easy to make replacement or spare parts for things you own. However, with this comes a host of copyright issues.
