Well i would bet it's from China, i didn't look to make sure.
The thing is if you want or need to make something (like say a phase plug idea for a compression driver), there is no way i could fabricate one.
But, if i can get my daughter to draw it in Solidworks, it can be exported to the printer and in a few hours you have one.
An amazing part of this approach is one can print interlocking parts like gears within a mechanism and the parts are free to move, an assembly that you can assemble from parts. Had the model for the rail car truck had a gap between the separate parts and brakes not applied, the wheels and suspension would move.
Google a sight called Thingaverse and look for anything you think of.
I am pretty sure one of the main things these are used for is printing miniature but precise figures for board games. A large printer can print an entire set of those or more in one session.
In some cases, it makes sense beyond prototypes for short run production to print parts vs molding them.
