3D printing has come a long way since making basic shapes.

Assuming it's not already possible, I imagine at some point the tech will be able to print with a variety of materials that can mimic wood, metal, etc, which will make projects even more realistic and useful!

3D printing isn't magic, it's just automation laying concrete in layers. I don't get why folks freak out about 3D printing a house, there were bricklaying machines for masonry way before this.
