2D to 3D

I have been asking myself the question if there are no easier ways to create simple CAD files if you don't have any skills in 3D-designing or don't have a 3D scanner.

Shapeways.com came out with something they call "Image Popper". It is supposed to take a 2D image and add depth to it, to generate a functional CAD file. 

I tried it out with a jpeg saying "The 3D Printing Blog". So all I did was take a screenshot of the text "The 3D Printing Blog" and uploaded it. Check out the results:

 AMAZING! Great for standard logos and stuff like that...obviously more sophisticated things will not work, but still - great! 

Unfortunately they dont allow you to download the CAD file...but I could order it
