Hello, I am Origo. I am a 3D printer for ten year olds. You can draw your very own things in 3Dtin and I'll build them for you in plastic. Right now, I am just an idea. I will be as easy to use as an Xbox or Wii. I'll be as big as three Xbox 360s and as expensive as three Xbox 360s. I will sit on your desk and quietly build your ideas, drawings and dreams. There are other 3D printers. But none will be as easy to use as I will. None will be as reliable or work as hard for you. I'm not a kit or an industrial machine. I'm not complicated. I'm an appliance, like a toaster or a microwave. Only I'm purple and make your stuff.

We wrote about it in our March issue of the Edudemic Magazine, featured it a couple weeks ago, and now want to start figuring out how the basically-real tool will help teachers around the planet. After all, that's what Edudemic is all about! We throw caution to the wind and just start trying to figure out fun and useful ways to use technology in the classroom. Who cares if that technology isn't available yet?
