Peer-to-peer sharing site The Pirate Bay has set up a page hosting digital 3D mockups — digital 3D files — for visitors to download and print out on 3D printers. Physical objects, or “physibles,” as Pirate Bay calls them, will constitute the next step in copying, according to the site.

These will be created on 3D printers.
