                               Santa  Claus  Machine  Library 
  

Santa Claus Machines are printers that print real objects
instead of messages.  They are also sometimes known as
Rapid Prototyping Systems. Although still somewhat new
and primitive, Santa Claus machines are poised to totally
revolutionize how products are made and distributed.
