In Pictures: MakerBot Replicator in actionThe MakerBot replicator in action. Eventually, this lump of plastic will be a miniature cupcake, complete with pink icing on top. (We wouldn't advise eating it though, unless you used to enjoy munching on Lego blocks as a kid.) As mentioned, the Replicator uses two types of plastic: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and the environmentally friendly PLA (polylactic acid). Both types are non-toxic and can be purchased direct from the MakerBot Industries website.
