We do 3D printing at work now, since we've somehow ended up (partially) in the hardware business. It works great for mocking up / getting a sense of how a design looks and feels. It's also good enough for some of the simpler parts we produce (in relatively low volume). It saves a ton of time and money in the prototyping / iteration cycle, for obvious reasons.

I'm more of a software guy, so I don't really do anything with it myself, but I have to admit it's quite cool to look at and think about.

There's also interesting communities like Thingiverse.
