That sentiment is null as McDonald's IT Director, Mark Fabes, ponders the idea of using in-store 3D printers to print the company's famous Happy Meal toys.

Fabes says using 3D printers on-site would allow staff to print the toy of the child's choice, should the kid not like the toy McDonalds is offering at the time.
"Countless families have had their enjoyment of a nutritious McDonald’s ruined because they turned up the week that the starring character in that season's kiddie-sized blockbuster had been replaced by an earnest but boring supporting character as the toy of choice," the UK's Register reports.
Having the ability to create toys on demand could potentially become an even bigger draw for families to visit the establishment. But the somewhat egregious idea is just that; an idea.
Apart from cost considerations, there is the issue of whether plastic smelting machines were appropriate for use in food outlets.

But 3D printing is making its way into everyday life more and more.
Just a few weeks ago, it was reported the heartwarming story of a father who was able to print a 3D prosthetic hand for his son.
