I made a relief of my kitty in a box. It is a relief tool from Bambu labs that you upload a picture and select parameters that probably uses AI of some kind. I really want to see how 3d printing could make custom books who may need more tactile input to participate in shared reading. They are so easy to create they could be used in making grade level content more accessible like a relief of a significant historical artifact or a graph from a research paper.
Lots of downsides including people taking intellectual property and selling it whatever they make. Processing demands of the tech to generate the files. The waste of the material used to print particularly if the item isn't used long. But then there are so many cool applications in education especially accessibility that can make environments hyper individualized with a lot less effort and skill needed. Just musing.
