Cost is one thing I'm not worried about. Makerbot lead the way by making an additive 3D ready-to-use printer available at <$3k. Now Dremel's got a consumer 3D printer at $1k. There are credible projects to get small-build-volume 3D printers down at $250 and Peachy's taking a reasonable swing to get it under $100 (disclaimer: kickstarter backer). Glowforge is now tackling this for lasers. We're still a ways away from shipping, but we're already confident we can get the price under that of a Makerbot.
