• Resumen

  • Microsoft will include support for 3D printers in the next update to its Windows 8 operating system. The company hopes its move will enable designs created in 3D-drawing apps to be seamlessly submitted as 3D print jobs, because the driver software will understand 3D file formats as easily as it currently does 2D ones. In addition, users will be able to print miniature 3D sculptures of themselves--or their cats, of course--from 3D imagery captured by Microsoft's Kinect depth-sensing camera.
