We've done a lot of shapes in the high-end residential industry and for small businesses - so, yes. However, pricing is probably prohibitive to the average consumer.

The size of most of our shapes are so big that 3D printing would not be practical where the technology currently stands. We've upgraded our machines many times over the years as technology has advanced and we plan on doing so as new and better ways of doing things emerge.

Someone asked about stress working with the movie industry and what other movies and shows we've done, and then deleted their question, hope this answers it : Always, the show must go on and production deadlines must be met. We made cannons for Gods and Generals, columns for the Manchurian Candidate, stone features for the castle in Black Knight, vents for MIB III, and an old cemetery in the woods for O Brother, Where Art Thou. We also did the architectural trim for the series Revolution, sand castle sculptures for The Glades, and a tombstone for Matlock. Just to name a few of probably thousands.

We have made quite a few props for TV shows and movies, one of the most noticeable being the giant bull from Year One. Pictures

No music, although CNC routers make a loud screaching sound. Somewhat related, we made a 12ft statue of Hannah Montana once that was used for a radio station contest and then crushed by a bus. Found this video of the demolition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a691l86LK4g You awesome redditors can probably find better footage.

The high buoyancy of foam makes me want to make a houseboat out of it powered by solar panels...everyone I tell that to looks at me as if I'm crazy.
