3D printing is getting closer to us normals!

Objet 3D printing put to the test in Iron Man 2

The company describes the process as "print-to-wear" – pieces come out of the printer, get applied with paint, and make their way to the actors. And since the designs begin with an actual scan of the actor's body, they are much more comfortable.

Just thought this was really awesome. Pretty soon you may be able to print out things like drivers, woofers, replacement screwed, etc. If you can afford one, of course.
