It is a shame that this demo wasn't with anything running Android, however it is mobile related and it is rather cool technology. For those not familiar with the MakerBot Replicator, it is a desktop 3D printer that you can use to print out things like, well, cases for your smartphones. The MakerBot Replicator 2, which is the fourth generation is said to the "best desktop 3D printer on the market." The unfortunate part here, with a price tag of more than $2,000 this is not something the average home user is going to purchase, or even see.
