Previously 3D FDM machines could only print in 2D layers, which in turn created a 3D product.
However now resourceful 3D printing enthusiasts have created a real 3 dimensional printer.

Cyclists use 3D Printing to bring high-performance bike parts to life with the Kappius Hub
April 19, 2013 Comments are closed The Kappius father and son team are in the business of developing high performance bicycle hubs. Their process was a lengthy one until they came across direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), an industrial additive manufacturing technology (3D Printing).
This has enabled them to go from “concept to bike-ready components in about month” said Kappius who has been able to tinker designs on his computer and quickly turn that into tinkering with physical prototypes.
3D Printed Sex Toys? – It was only a matter of time.
January 18, 2013 Comments are closed 
MakerLove are now providing free sex toy designs for your Maker Device / 3D printer.
This technology now allows you to avoid the traditional embarrassment faced when heading down to your local Adult Shop to buy a sex toy. MakerLove gives you the ability to print the sex toy of your choice in the comfort of our own home, if you have the luxury of having a 3D printer around the house. It is a simple process download the free design of your choice from www.makerlove.com, print the design using your 3D printer, then purchase the $10.99 vibrating bullet compatible with the designs from http://www.vibrators.com/high-intensity-bullet.html. Only problem being that not everyone can afford to purchase a 3D printer and if you have to purchase the bullet online anyway why would you not just buy the sex toy of your choice while your at it and skip the whole printing process.
