3D printing technology may be some way off producing fully functional household appliances, but tiny steps are being made toward helping us out with our domestic duties. Hoover has teamed up with MakerBot to today unveil two designs for vacuum cleaner accessories, freely available to all through 3D printing marketplace Thingiverse.
Hoover claims that this announcement has been in the works for some time, with its team of designers involved in an ongoing brainstorm to conceive new tools that make the tedious task of sucking up dirt that little bit easier.
