Recently I have finalized and begun prototyping, a long considered design for a device which allows me to do experiments in several areas.

The first being:

Organic imaging using DIY Bio technologies

DIY rapid prototyping, experimenting with application approaches, binders and curing techniques

Sculpture/image experiments using a router cutting and ink-jet head to both form and image onto 3D surfaces.

In addition one can imagine acquiring a high powered IR laser and beginning to cut plastic and wood for 2.5D rapid prototyping, or attaching a plasma cutter and cutting through sheets of metal with speed and high precision to make architectural elements etc.
