 It's March 8th, 2013. I'm Thomas Huston and I'm not just your host, I'm your friend. This is 90 Seconds on the Verge, presented by Motorola. 3D printing company MakerBot has announced IRL copy and paste. It's a prototype desktop 3D scanner called the Digitizer, and it uses a combination of cameras and lasers to scan objects and turn them into digital files. They can then be printed out on the company's line of 3D printers, no experience in 3D modeling necessary. There's no word yet on price, release date, or whether you can clone your own Digitizer with Digitizer. Speaking of 3D printing, this time-honored tradition is now being used in one unexpected place. Up here. Earlier this week, a patient in the U.S. had 75% of his skull replaced with a 3D printed prosthetic. The implant was approved by the FDA last month. The company behind the implant says it can create similar pieces in just two weeks. Finally, if you were a fan of the Battlestar Galactica reboot, get ready. Series creator Ronald DeMore has a new show on the way. The Sci-Fi Network has ordered 13 episodes of a new project called Helix, with DeMore serving as executive producer. It's about a group of scientists who travel to the Arctic to look into a possible disease outbreak. They find themselves drawn into a, quote, terrifying life-and-death struggle that holds the key to mankind's salvation or total annihilation. Series premiere is 2014. We're still waiting to hear if Wilfred Brimley and Kurt Russell have agreed to join the cast. And that's it for today's top stories. Stay tuned for our South by Southwest elevator pitch of the day. All right, it's called ThinkBrain. Poll your friends telepathically. It's going to be big.
