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?
