A company I work with has a few of these printers. Actually they have been using them for years to make prototypes.
Wow, that’s awesome! I wish I could make something on one, but we dont make physical products at my work.
My contact there made a football trophy for the winner of their fantasy football league. The funny part was it probably cost $100 to print it out when a real trophy would have been much cheaper. Some of the rapid prototyping stuff out there is pretty cool.
Reckon those 3D printers are a boon to your company’s R@D department. 
I would like to make something on one aswell. Like some doorstops and frisbees! 
I imagine that perhaps the novelty of how that trophy was created may have been worth the price.
