Matt Strong is running a kickstarter for the "Tangibot" 3d printer. It's a version of the Makerbot Replicator, made in China by a guy who knows a little bit about building consumer electronics devices, 'cause he worked on some of the issues involved in the Cricut.
(Yes, I did wait 'til he mentioned that in the video, otherwise I was going to say "[redacted]")
Whether or not you think getting the product cheaper by having it made in China is a good idea, the early part of the video is worth watching because I think he's got some good examples of reasons why people will want 3d printers of their own in a few years as the price comes down.
Also, he mentions tinkercad, 3d CAD on the web.
