Current technology does not place 3D printing under the "affordable" status, but that could soon change with Shapeways from the Netherlands coming up with a new online service that will see customized manufacturing be made available to the masses by allowing consumers to submit digital designs of products which are subsequently printed via 3D printers and shipped back. It will take approximately 10 days or so for the entire process to complete, and you will fork out anywhere between $50 and $150 for your order. Does that mean I get to print my very own Voodoo dolls from now on?
