3D Printers for Kids

from the my-little-printer dept.

similar_name writes: "The prospect of children printing their own Transformers and My Little Pony toys is a step closer, after toy firm Hasbro revealed a partnership with 3D printing company 3D Systems. The two companies are working together to 'co-develop and commercialize innovative play printers and platforms later this year.'"

[Ed. Note] The first one I would print is Applejack.

  Will these be the same quality as are on the shelf now? Or are these going to be the quality of ones you get out of vending machines? I'm thinking they will be closer to the latter.

  Probably the latter.

  (But your comment made me imagine the day you can buy 3D printers out of vending machines. I can't wait.)
