正如文章提到的这句，3D 打印为影迷自己“生产”周边产品。树人格鲁特，金色飞贼，权力游戏铁王座等等都可以打印出来，甚至定制其他产品。作为权力游戏的粉丝，我去年还买了一套权力游戏纪念版的monopoly， 现在想想价格还真是不菲呢。如果可以用3D打印技术，私人订制token，sigil，周边。自己选择或者动手参与设计一套私人订制的小雕像，模型，简直是粉丝的福音。
然而，原创公司的日子就没那么好过了。毕竟是绞尽脑汁创作出来的IP，怎么能这么轻易就被“抢走”了。所以很多品牌公司对3D打印社区采取强硬打击态度，但是，也有一些公司是要更好地利用3D 社区，采取相对温和的态度。技术创新和新事物总是给既得利益者带来冲击，3D社区和大公司的博弈才刚刚开始。
