3D printing is fast becoming one of the most useful tools ever developed by humans. The technique can be used to print pretty much anything from food to new body parts.
3D printers can also be used to print novelty items, tools, weapons and even buildings. The technology has already had a huge impact on the modern world and is set to become ever more important in many industries of the future.
In most cases, the only real limitation to what can be 3D printed is our imagination, as these 15 amazing 3D printed objects testify to.
The following list is far from exhaustive and is in no particular order.
1. These buildings are some of the most impressive 3D projects around
These five story buildings are not printed as one unit but are made from separate 3D printed sections assembled on site. They were produced by a company called Winsun (though the IP might actually belong to Contour Crafting) which has printed a variety of buildings from mansions to offices....

Yes, the pro-death Left will shut that down, just like they did me. Twitter CENSORED me too! Those BASTARDS. Now HERE is a very relevant post: It is worth noting that both Disqus and Fakebook CENSOR any mention of a website, www.CodeIsFreeSpeech.com that provides FREE downloads of 3D-printable firearm blueprints. And, since Facebook/Disqus logins are so prevalent for posting commentary across the Internet, they are very effectively suppressing this “Forbidden Knowledge” almost EVERYWHERE. Please go to the website, download some or all 10 of the free blueprints, and then, repost it to your friends and across the Internet, to the extent you can. Strike a BLOW against Fakebook and judicial CENSORSHIP! Support TWO amendments at once, the First and the Second!
I grabbed my copies of the files.
Would love to see:
Glock frame
Parts for making a DIY barrel machine
All frames split into two halves with alignment pins and weld groves to simplify the process. This should allow for lost wax casting and then weld the two halves together. Could eliminate the need for a CNC machine altogether.
When I went there with Safari on my iPhone, it opened right up. I managed to email myself the smaller files, and opened then on my laptop, but I couldn’t get the larger ones to go.
Is there some trick to getting the page to open using Windoze?
Is the standard method for creating a child too much work for anyone?
This new Hero Arm looks fascinating. I’d like to see how “extremely affordable” they are but no info at website. My sister-in-law would be a perfect candidate and needs one badly.
Now it seems to be working for all my browsers. Loaded Brave on my machine and tried it first and did the downloads. Then checked the others, and they work now.
“Is there some trick to getting the page to open using Windoze?”
No trick that I know of. Just go to:
www.CodeIsFreeSpeech.com
and it should open INSTANTLY in any browser. Please email it to all your friends!
Ive been watching this technology for 20 years (was used in industrial development model making originally)
Think of this - kid gets a fad object code from their favorite box of cereal or online game bonus whatzit and takes it to their local big box/supermarket store/library/mall where there are 3D printer machines like we now have photo-printing kiosks.
They put their code on (a one-time use code) and the pattern is downloaded to make whatever it is 3 inch tall ‘gay batwoman action figure’ (or whatever) and 10-15 minutes later (after shopping) they can pick up their item from the machine. Gimmicks like having one’s face added to the model or name/title text or other cutomizations would assist (versus chinese junk made for 1 cent each and shipped by the cargo container-ful).
The PROBLEM holding this back is : Such 3D printed objects take 6-12 HOURS to make (even now in industrial grade machines). This needs to be sped up by a factor of 10 to be commercially workable (and the machines made reliable enuf to not need/require maintenance twice a day).
So the technology is really still in its infancy
