Abstract
A 3D printing system and method for limited edition virtual objects is disclosed. The method including: enabling a user to obtain a limited edition virtual object associated with an activity of the user in a virtual environment; receiving a request from the user to 3D print the limited edition virtual object; preparing a 3D printer file of the limited edition virtual object requested by the user; sending the 3D printer file of the limited edition virtual object to a 3D printer to be printed; and validating authenticity of transformation of the limited edition virtual object into a 3D printed tangible physical item.
