It won’t be long before people have a 3-D printer sitting at home alongside its old inkjet counterpart. These 3-D printers, some already costing less than a computer did in 1999, can print objects by spraying layers of plastic, metal or ceramics into shapes. People can download plans for an object, hit print, and a few minutes later have it in their hands.

Call it the Industrial Revolution 2.0.

"SketchUp is the finest (and most innovative) tool available for anyone designing anything from coffee pots to skyscrapers."

The MakerBot 3-D printer offers the possibility of manufacturing products in the home almost as easily as printing a document with an inkjet printer. The company’s Thing-O-Matic machine moves in three dimensions to spray layers of colored plastic to form objects, some quite intricate

WebGL is a cross-platform, royalty-free web standard for a low-level 3D graphics API based on OpenGL ES 2.0, exposed through the HTML5 Canvas element as Document Object Model interfaces.

WebGL is a context of the canvas HTML element that provides a 3D graphics API implemented in a web browser without the use of plug-ins.[1] The specification is currently a work in progress.[2] WebGL is managed by the non-profit technology consortium Khronos Group.
