Recent visit to BETT show uncovered a couple of interesting/usful/creative Tec that would be good to add to UAL wish list!

The 3DTouch™ printer and RapMan™ printer kit, packed with best-in-class features including multiple print heads, intuitive touchscreens and USB storage. Priced under $1,300, more students can access these innovative educational tools to design.

Seems UAl are already there - What is FABLCC ?  FABLCC is a learning and teaching initiative based at the London College of Communication (LCC) focused on digital fabrication technology. A digital fabricator (or fabber) is a machine that builds (layer-by-layer) three-dimensional plastic objects from digital data.

This associated website provides a space to showcase past/present projects as well as a mechanism for LCC students/staff to submit future project ideas ... encouraging developments driven by bottom-up ownership, à la Fab Labs, not top-down planning. http://www.fablcc.com/
