I believe it is in the works but may not be working as yet. Please see the
statement from the article below.

Now the technology is reaching ordinary consumers -- even young ones. Later
this summer, SolidWorks, a U.S. unit of Dassault Systemes SA, a French maker
of design software, plans to start up a new business called Cosmic Modelz
that will allow kids to use the technology to create their own customized
action-figures.

Children can design a figure using SolidWorks' Cosmic Blob software on their
home PCs, then go to a Web site run by 3D printer-maker Z Corp. and order
their figures to be "printed" for $25 to $50. It will be kind of an
electronic version of the Build-a-Bear Workshop concept where children
create customized teddy-bears.

In a recent article on 3D printers, it was stated that "Children can design
a figure using Solidwork's Cosmic Blob software--, then go to a web site run
by 3D printer-maker Z corp and order their figures to be printed for $25 to
$50."

Does anyone on the list have information about the reference web site?
