Could something like iTunes stem it to a degree? You could purchase an item, which you would then be able to print on your 3D printer. If you wanted more than one copy, you would have to purchase it. I wonder how local printing firms fit into the picture. Would they be willing to get in on the ground floor with 3D printing like they did with digital printing?
