The Buildlog.net Open Source Laser cutter/engraver just added 3D printing to it’s capabilities. The printer system uses the existing CNC motion system of the laser cutter along with standard RepRap electronics. A quick release plastic extruder carriage is added to the existing gantry. The upgrade project is called the Chimera Project because this is a hybrid of two self replicating machines. The parentage of the parts gets a little blurred. The laser is self replicating by making all its non off the shelf parts. Adding 3D printing takes that another step forward. (via Laser Cutter Adds 3D Printing Capability at Buildlog.Net Blog)
