There are indications that Wizards of the Coast parent Hasbro is planning a 3D printing initiative that could incorporate WotC games and miniatures.  The first indication was a press release from Hasbro and 3D Systems back in February, describing a new co-venture between the companies (3D Systems is the leading 3D printer manufacturer) to "mainstream new and innovative play and co-creation experiences at home and online."  The deal incorporates the "entirety of Hasbro’s world-renowned brands," according to the announcement. 

Then earlier this month, Hasbro filed for a trademark on "Allspark," according to 3DPrint.com, which sounds like a related project.  The trademark requested is for "computer software for creating, designing, modifying, customizing, sharing and saving computer generated representations capable of being printed by a three-dimensional printer to create physical objects, namely, jewelry, ornaments, art objects, artifacts, household goods, toys, games, hobby models, accessories, office products, and various other consumer products," and some related purposes. 

It’s beginning to sound like the day when a design can be downloaded and used to create a miniature on a 3-D printer for use with Dungeons & Dragons isn’t far away.
