3D Printing is really cool in general. A 3D printer basically takes plastic thread and melts it into all different shapes and sizes. I assume most figurines were 3D printed. In my house I found old baseball and army action figures and was thinking about how they were probably 3D printed. Although 3D printing uses a lot of plastic and isn’t necessarily good for the environment, it is very sustainable and affordable so I guess if more things were 3D printed we would have more money for environmental problems. I think It lets lots of artists express their creativity in a less messy, cheaper way. The actual printer  and software might be expensive, but opposed from. Paint you only have to buy it once. On the other hand 3D printing might help those in need. For example someone may not be able to afford a house, but if you 3D print one you might only have to spend around $5000. Overall 3D printing is a great method.
