I tried something fun today: printing one of my app’s icon with an NFC tag embedded inside. For this, I designed a coin-shaped chamber where I inserted the tag during a pause in the print. Now, holding the icon near your iPhone automatically opens the app’s page.

@Typ0genius Such a cool idea.

We have 3D printers. Is there such a thing as a "3D painter", some programmable machine that can paint?

@dandylyons Thanks. Not that I am aware of. However, I have printed my icons in multiple colors, but then you are obviously limited by the complexity of your icons and the capabilities of your printer.
