Yes, you can!  Okay, maybe you and i can't afford it but I can see it, in ten years, mattel introduces the "print your own toys" all-in-one household object printer!  "Easy software anyone can use with thousands of predefined models for you to modify with simple point and click interface.  When your doll, car, or kitchen spatula looks good, just send to printer!  Now any home can have any toy or utensil they can dream off, with the Mattel home 3d printer!"

Back to the present, this thing IS in use in design houses all over already and it won't be long before we see them brought down to where we too can invest in them, and turn out little gizmos, toys, key chains and other bric-a-brac for sale, gift or just fun. You thought RIAA was disturbed at piracy, just wait till the kid down the corner prints his own bart simpson dolls doing things to Lisa that we don't want to think about.

this is the future; manufacturing is becoming an information technology, and there is a plentiful supply of atoms in the Universe- for now anyway.
