Two years ago, a Dutch student named Dirk Vander Kooij was designing furniture and preparing for his graduation project when he was inspired by an old 3D printer.
So he got his hands on an industrial robot from a Chinese production line and reprogrammed it into a 3D printer to print furniture using recycled materials from old refrigerators."

This article shows how 3D printing can be used to make practical things, such as chairs, out of recycled materials.
The thing is why just not getting more than it. More and more things could be produced by it.
