3d printing is still a fairly speculative market... but all indications are that 3d printing technology is here to stay. Most analysts agree to some extent that 3d printing will likely become a major global industry within 10 years or less. With 3d printers now being sold at major retail outlets like Staples and Best Buy for as little as $500....the market is rapidly growing from being a technological oddity ....to a revolutionary manufacturing trend. The technology is still being developed but....it is not crazy to imagine 3d printers becoming as common as paper printers. The day may come when almost every home computer is matched with a 3dprinter.
To me the most obvious applications for this technology in the home will be for instant manufacturing of random tools, toys and perhaps jewelry. If you need a simple 5/8ths wrench and you don't have one... you could go to a website like ToolPrints.com and simply download a printplan for one and have it instantly made out of durable plastic. For kids I envision websites that specialize in printplans for random gizmos, gadgets, or 3d character figures. It would be easy to keep kids, "attention" by periodically unveiling new, "must have" designs or cute characters....(think pokemons).... available for download....."Mommy I have to have a 3d widgeyman!!!".... so mom goes to ToysPrinter.com and downloads a plan for, "widgeyman" to shut the kid up. For the ladies I could see girls actually designing their own, "costume" jewelry... or downloading plans for different styles of earrings, necklaces etc.
These are just a few ideas that pop to mind. Not sure if you agree with my vision... but I dont think its that hard to forsee...
Here are a few links on the technology:
