Hey folks just stumbled via http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/21/forget-crowd-sourced-t-shirts-print-objects-in-3d/ on this project http://www.shapeways.com
They reside in the netherlands. And offer a service for 3D prototyping.

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQoTro9WfbQ for a demonstration.

Techcrunch got some beta invite codes: TechCrunch100

Will try and create an account and post about prices.

3D printing still isn't cheap, but very reasonable if you know that the machines they use are in the Ferrari price range..

Here's more info on pricing: http://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/23-Our-new-prices-how-do-they-work.html

3D printed monome faceplate anyone? ;-)
