Household use?
What exactly (if anything) is being envisioned for these to useful in the home? I cannot think of anything (other than models, aka display pieces) that could be 3D printed and be robust enough for routine use. Many products incorporate plastic components, but few are made entirely of plastic. Perhaps more so to allow for 3d capture of forms that are then printed as masters for other tooling (such as custom, form fit shoes...)
Speaking of which, how far away is the day you walk into a store, disrobe, get scanned and then robots quickly make you a wardrobe using styles you select from a catalog?
