As an engineer, we already use 3D printing to visualize parts before a mold is made for production. I see production use for short run/ low volume parts in the near future.
-
prototyping, replacing broken plastic bits around the home, cable guides.
-
I think my most practical app for 3d printing when I get a 3d printer would printing toys for my kids and teaching them about 3d printing
-
Fix broken things. New case for my Key Fob was the most recent
-
The most practical application is probably building parts for my robots.
-
i really just find it extremely cool, but i guess it could be used for replacing parts of household appliances.
-
I have several ideas that I would like to flesh out so prototyping is my most practical application. Once you have a 3D printer its easy to do 8-10 iterations of an idea to really refine it.
-
Being a beginner I am exploring the production of component parts to create larger useful items for myself and others.
-
This would help me realize a myriad of projects and ideas I have - turn me into a Maker :)
-
Prototypes for custom motorcycle components as well as industrial part fixtures.
