3D Printing is a very popular facet of the maker/hacker movement. Though they are still a bit difficult to use/calibrate, they are capable of printing 3D items based on CAD models and using extruded filament.

Software

3D Printing

Repetierhost used by the Freeside terminal to generate gcode from .stl files and command the 3D printers
Slic3r is integrated with repetier host above or used as a stand alone to generate machine readable gcode from an .stl 3D model
Cura LulzBot branded flavor of Cura, included with the LulzBot Mini
Marlin firmware running on all 3 machines

CAD/3D Modeling

Any software that can generate an .stl 3D image file is suitable. Below is an incomplete list of popular options.

openscad.org
tinkercad.com
blender.org
sketchup.com
AutoDesk (various products)

Equipment

Current Projects

Rebuild the AO-100
Replace the heated bed and power supply on the Kraken

Gallery

LulzBot AO-100 after some upgrades
The Kraken rebuild nearly complete
Printing parts for The Kraken on the LulzBot Mini
Dr. Glass assembling the heart that he printed on his Replicator 2
The fully-assembled working clockwork heart
Eggbots are good to learn about CNC on, and are muchless complex than 3D printers
