3D Printing at Home is hot and is going to change the way we are living! We will be able to print everything we have designed in the comfort of our home.

With the recent announcements and introductions of consumer 3D printers, it is clear that the 3D printing at home market becomes reality.

Still 3D printing is very much a technology driven activity applied by designers and engineers, although several companies / start ups are offering 3D printing services for individuals who want to have their own designed product replicated and sold to others on order.
Suppose 3D printing would be cheap and marketable enough that it should become as much a mainstay in the home as the PC or TV is today.
