Mashable reports that Amazon is taking 'on demand' to the next level with a 3D printing store.




Amazon has always been an on-demand marketplace of sorts; it can ship virtually anything in two days.

As its name suggests, the 3D Printing Store is a place where you can select and customize products that are then 3D printed and delivered to you. The store features dozens of items, including jewelry and trinkets, iPhone cases, bobblehead dolls (even ones that, with a little customization, can look like you), home decor and accessories, toys and art pieces.
