Last time we checked in with the 3D printing upstarts over at Formlabs, their Kickstarter was doing splendidly, having over doubled its initial funding target. Well, less than a month later, and with the money still rolling in, the current total stands (at time of writing) at a somewhat impressive $2,182,031 — over 20 times its initial goal. When we heard that the team behind it, along with some all important working printers, rolled into town, how could we resist taking the opportunity to catch up? The venue? London’s 3D print show.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Personal 3-D printers are getting more powerful and more advanced every year. The latest models, on display last weekend at New York’s annual Maker Faire, can crank out everything from model Eiffel Towers to wearable high-heeled shoes.

Swarms of hobbyists, parents and kids descended upon the event’s 3-D printing village to test out the latest innovations, including the Form 1 — a printer aimed at professionals that creates high-resolution objects using a method called stereolithography.
