The world's first 3D-printed laptop

The Pi-Top can be printed from molten plastic in a living room using a printer the size of a coffee machine.

The world’s first 3D-printed laptop has gone on sale, allowing anyone to print their own device in their living room for half the price of some of its conventionally manufactured rivals.

The laptop, called Pi-Top, will not be launched officially until next May. Customers must already own a 3D printer, which can cost as little as $269 and are the size of a large coffee machine. The Pi-Top pack includes a template that “prints” the shell of the laptop by melting rolls of thin plastic about the thickness of a piece of paper and laying them on top of each other.
