I can\u2019t tell you how many times I wished my virtual pottery collection in Let\u2019s Create! Pottery<\/a>, a fun game on iOS and Android that lets you sculpt and paint little pottery pieces, could be brought to real life.<\/p>\n

Now through the magic of 3D printing, I can do just that.<\/p>\n

Inside the game, you can sculpt and paint your pottery piece just as you would in previous versions of the game.<\/p>\n

Once you put the finishing touches on your pot, you\u2019ll see that there\u2019s a new option to \u201cprint\u201d. This takes you to a page where you choose the size of your pot and put in an order to Sculpteo<\/a>, a 3D printing firm based in France.<\/p>\n

A small pot, around 2 inches tall, can be ordered for around $14 (including $6 shipping). Larger sizes are a little more expensive. A medium pot (4 inches) will cost $30 while a large (6 inches) will cost around $100.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Create! Pottery shipped a review unit to our offices, where the 3D printed pottery piece in question arrived in a quaint wooden box. Inside, I found the pot nestled in a bundle of hay, which was a nice touch.<\/p>\n

While the future of 3D printing looks towards producing entire houses<\/a> and automobiles<\/a>, this is a reminder that it\u2019s still immensely useful for the little stuff.<\/p>\n\n<\/a>\n<\/a>\n<\/a>\n<\/a>\n\n
