The stop-motion animation guys have been using 3D printing for a while. E.g., printing a batch of a character's heads with all the speech mouth positions. Their code analyzes the sound track, and automatically generate a frame-by-frame list of what head to use for a particular frame.

I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you that we are facing a honey shortage the likes of which few of us have ever imagined is possible.
