I have my doubts. I think there's more money in selling copyrighted content than in selling the fairly narrow range of products that can be produced with a 3D printer.
Looking around the room right now, the number of objects here that could be cranked out with any 3D printer is pretty darn small. For those that could, I doubt it would be any cheaper for me to 3D-print the darn thing, even if I already had the 3D printer, than it was for me to buy the real mass-produced deal.
The article's example of "little figurines" is the only example I can think of, and the little figurine industry isn't large compared to music or movies.
