7. Shoes\r
Not just any shoes. As you have probably seen, 3D printers are capable of making almost anything under the sun if you can think of it. So why stop at regular sneakers or heels that you typically see get presented as being a product of 3D. If you have the tools to get as creative as you want, why stop at regular shoes you could probably buy at Payless? These shoes designed by Cristina Franceschini are based off images that are mythological in nature and look like they belong in the Met or something. \r

6. Dresses\r
Of course, anything is going to look good on famous burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese. And that includes this 3D printed dress designed by Francis Bitonti and Michael Schmidt. Dita Von Teese wore the revealing and well-structured dress to the Ace Hotel in new, a gown made up of 17 pieces and encrusted with more than 13,000 Swarovski crystals. As if just printing a beautiful gown wasnt already doing the most.\r

5. Faces\r
Technology has definitely reached new, previously unimaginable heights in the last century. Not only has 3D printing brought about a new way of sculpting objects, but its given humans the capability to get as intricate as possible while also making things that are useful. And while 3D printed faces are probably not the first thing you think of as being something useful, for some, its an easier way to create prosthetic faces. And the ways 3D printed faces are utilized are many. Theres costume or prop purposes, of course, like these two faces. Not only can 3D printing capture the shape right, but it can also capture the right feel and life to an object like the f on the right\r

4. Lightsabers\r
If you belong to a fandom, then 3D printing could easily become one of your best friends if you let it. Did you ever want a Doctor Who sonic screwdriver that you just couldnt find in stores or maybe youre own custom lightsaber? Buying from designers using 3D printers or owning your own, you have what you need to make them yourself. Should you make them yourself, you at least have the satisfion of being the craftsperson behind it, instead of feeling guilty for spending a ton of money on one you bought off the official online store. \r

3. Facial Prosthetics \r
Now that weve gone over 3D printed prosthetics and 3D printed faces, you can put those two ideas together and come up with something thats equally desired. For people who have what some would consider face defects, 3D printed faces are a saving grace. In the same way fake eyes dont necessarily help people see, all 3D facial prosthetics do is help make any non-average features on someones face less noticeable should they desire. After Eric Monger had a section of his face removed for medical reasons, it left part of his face missing. But part of his facial structure was able to be recreated, giving Monger part of the his face back, for which he seems all the happier.\r

2. Cars\r
With as far as 3D can take your innovations, it makes perfect sense someone would think of making an automobile. This is the Strati and it was the first 3D printed car ever, completed in new. Jay Rogers, the CEO of Local Motors had a knack to pick with the car industry. Why was everyone still assembling cars the same way for the past 100 years? To show that theres indeed new ways to design and assemble cars, Local Motors came up with the Strati--which as built in Detroit of course, for anyone whos doubting its not a real car. Sure, the Strati is not the smoothest of cars, but its supposed to be stronger than it looks and just as durable. The material is apparently much cheaper, too, which could really change the way the industry goes about making cars for consumers should 3D printing catch on.\r
\r
Prosthetic Limbs\r
Probably one of the most game-changing, and life-changing, creation to have been made from a 3D printer are prosthetic limbs. While people can use prosthetic masks to add some normalcy to their everyday, prosthetic limbs take it a step further by helping people function on a day to day basis as normally as possible. And even stylishly. This 3D printed prosthetic leg is a lot more aesthetically pleasing than the traditional plastic prosthetics people are more used to seeing. Plus, 3D printing also allows for more detailed construction of limbs like arms and hands. Theres a touch of something closer to a flesh and bone hand with a lot of the hand prosthetic designs that come from 3D printing--which just goes to show function and design can really go hand in hand.
