3D printing

For those of you with 3D printers there was an interesting snippet at the end of tonight QI program on ABC TV. Apparently you can download a model of a wind powered device that walks like crab. It was interesting to see it work. Apparently the design builds full size versions on the beaches of I think Steven Fry said Holland.

EDit: yep found it Theo Jansen http://www.shapeways.com/shops/theojansen
