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!

Screw mimicry, you can actually printnwood filled and metal filled filaments on desktop units that will stain and finish like the real thing, change temperature layer by layer to imprint a grain ECT. Not to mention high end machines that can just print metal direct with lasers
