3D printing, not just for fun?

Wow, check this out. Those 3d printers, the ones that you program using a computer and it spits out whatever you can imagine using melted plastics, was actually put to use for something useful. I'm sure that there are many good uses for them, but I just imagine making toys out of the 3d printer. Well this time, it was used to make a shell of a brain/skull for a lady that was having trouble with thickening of her skull.
