Here are 2 examples of how 3D models can be used to assist the making of top quality structures.

The first one is laser-cut shapes plus 3dp finishings. The second one is ink-jet printing of shapes plus papercraft finishing.

Smart. I know I tend to think it terms of printing a whole model, but printing key/rare elements or, as in the link, printing and then making a mold, are great uses.

Personally, I can see a huge market in this sort of thing.

Pick any popular video game. What prevents you from building a game-board with that "look"?
