For example, in China they used 3-D printing to build houses for people. According to the video, they printed 10 houses for less than $5000. Another example where 3-D printing changes how we make things, is in the medical world. For example, doctors are using patients’ cells to make plastic ears, noses and organs for transplant. Certainly 3-D printing is helping people around the world.
