I want one of these! Too bad it's $1800.

Quoted: Currently Sold Out at Sears or available as the Carvewright online, the Compucarve is a compact, 3-dimensional computer controlled cutting machine. It allows a ‘novice’ to make a 3d routed object, with what looks like drag and drop processes.

The unit performs many other standard woodworking functions, including ripping, cross cutting, mitering, contouring, jointing and routing. The CompuCarve can work in most soft materials, including wood, plastics (polycarbonate or cast acrylic) and certain types of high density foam.

The unit ships with software and a range of designs, but you can program your own. I am sure you have to use proprietary software and an equally unfriendly file format (MPC), but $1800.
