今年，Makerbot的创始人Bre Pettis创立了一家新的零售企业，其中包括一些3D印刷物品。Bre＆Co。3D打印的陶瓷清酒套装零售价，而树脂吊坠的价格为180美元。所有产品承诺将成为几代物体传递的一种物体，其中包括折纸手表在内的许多物体都可以选择用个人消息来刷新激光。
When 3DPI looked at Bre’s range in October我们忍不住想知道：个性化真的值得价格标签吗？此外，还有一个3D打印的物体价值超过您在高街上能找到的东西吗？英国莱斯特郡的拉夫堡大学机构存储库在论文中解决了这些问题评估3D打印个性化产品的价值在中欧的国际大众定制和个性化国际会议上发布，该会议于21岁从塞尔维亚举行英石-23路September 2016.
在这项研究中,拉夫堡大学的研究人员asked ten participants to design their own 3D printable objects. These ten objects were subdivided into categories ‘household’, ‘jewellery’ and ‘gadget’ with individuals opting to create a lampshade, a fruit plate, vases, a ring, bracelets, a bangle, a Rasberry Pi case and a refuse sack holder respectively. Conceptually, each design fitted into the Value Taxonomy of 3D printed product personalisation, as illustrated in the diagram below.
研究发现，与高街零售价相比，消费者最终不准备为3D打印物品支付额外的费用。相反，对最终产品的感知值的比较超出了典型设计的标准，这有些矛盾。
Though 3D printing is not truly competing at a consumer level yet, for some it may still be that necessary edge to get that perfect gift for someone. I for one, wouldn’t mind finding a miniature model of one ofthe world’s most expensive sculpturesin my stocking this Christmas.
