Enrique,
Yes this technology is amazing, there is 3D printer for several kinds of materials, polymers, metals etc... and several kinds of applications, making tools, molds, parts and so on. We have developing a lot of our stuff in 3D using Solidworks and Rhino and 3D printing in a SLA technology (Stereolithography) using liquid resin and laser, as you can see the results are very good for our application:

As you see you can share an email with the 3D draw and have this printed for you in a local printing shop.
