Three-dimensional printers have come a long way in the past few years, providing inventors and entrepreneurs with an endless stream of possibilities.
From goggles and food to toys and chocolate Mustangs, 3D printers can do almost anything.
To celebrate the future of this promising industry, Benzinga has compiled a list of some of the coolest 3D printing concepts and prototypes that have been built in 2014.
1. Braille Phones
OwnFone has an interesting idea: it wants to print customizable phones for the vision impaired.
The company's newest phone can have as many as four custom-printed Braille buttons, each of which will correspond to a different number. This will make it easy for the user to quickly dial numbers that they call frequently.
2. Records
Compact discs are great, but some people love vinyl. They happily pay more (and obtain a working record player) to keep the old format alive. Singer/songwriter Bobbie Gordon is one such fan. But she's not merely a supporter of the format -- she may prove to be its biggest innovator.
