The two companies are working together to 'co-develop and commercialize innovative play printers and platforms later this year.'"

[Ed. Note] The first one I would print is Applejack.

    This is the impression I have too. TBH, although I find the idea of a 3-D printer pretty cool, I can't think of anything I actually need to print. Even at work, where I build stuff quite regularly, our staffed machine shop is going to be faster, produce better results, and not be limited to a narrow range of plastics. If I wanted to go completely DIY, I think I'd rather opt for lathe and CNC skills than purchasing a 3-D printer and screwing around with that.
