Last week, the Cube 3D printer was crowned as the first place winner for the first-ever GITEX Hot Stuff Awards in Dubai, UAE. In doing so, the Cube earned the title as the region’s most innovative and popular technology ahead of a list of contenders including tablet computers and gaming systems. This win reinforces how deeply 3D printing has established itself in popular culture, as more people are ready to get their hands on a home 3D printer.              (Photo above via zawya.com)

The GITEX Hot Stuff Awards, powered by Stuff magazine, are among the region’s biggest technology honors.
