What would you want for your birthday? A cake? Balloons? How about a 3D printed figurine of yourself? That’s right; with the advent of 3D printing services, you can now have just about anything you want printed in three dimensions. This relatively new technology is still in its infancy, but it’s already changing the way we think about manufacturing and the possibilities for customization are endless.

You can find 3D printing services online, and most of them are fairly affordable. All you need to do is upload a file with the specifications of what you want printed. The service will then create a three-dimensional model of your object and send it back to you. You can even order objects that have already been designed by other people.

The possibilities for what you can print are limited only by your imagination.
