I'm very excited about Other Machine's desktop CNC milling machines. Unlike 3D printers, which build parts by adding material (almost always plastic, when it comes to low cost machines), the Othermill cuts away at material (plastic, wood, metal glass, printed circuit boards).
With a rated precision of 0.001, you can use one to make intricate jewelry. Instead of upgrading my computer next year, I'm buying an Othermill.
Here's TWIS's profile of the Other Machine, which is headed by Danielle Applestone.
