If it is so over hyped why did he make thousands of models.

Making something is sometimes easy. Sometimes a real pain and often
someone has already done it.

Anyone with real 3-D cad for a metal machine knows it isn't easy.
One has to learn and work at it. Big deal.

Over hyped by those who want to hear it said.

And that was not a statement of anything - just a long list of things.
Many students at schools are into 3-D cad and are making things.

Companies like hearing aids are making theirs out of 3-D printers.
GM design are doing 3-D printers for model cars. The clay models
are gone. Over night comes a new rev. Cad drawings are in the works.

All sorts of medical parts are made from them.
All sorts of food parts are made from them.

Even NASA designed a tool, uploaded it to the station and they
were able to make the wrench to fix something.

Not bad when you consider the wild design they had
to make to clean the air on an Apollo flight. One little
interface unit would have been easy.
