My grad project (2010) was a modular CNC machine, which I've started to see some similar concepts recently (not sure if my project influenced them or not?) I called it the RedBlue CNC, got some traction on design blogs and still get occasional request today (though was only a functional concept prototype)

I won a Makerbot 2 in 2010 in a design competition, was quickly disappointed how that was. Now ready for something more professional quality.
Thanks!
