Bathsheba Grossman, Santa Cruz, California has created this lamp which is a 3D sculpture. She says, “advanced prototyping went from something that was completely in-house at Boeing to something you walk in off the street and order. I can’t tell you how cool it is to have your own small hunk of metal.” This shows that it is possible to print objects which interlock into each other. Also the precision allows perfect geometry to be created. There are instances when one can create an intricate jali system with the help of 3D printings.
