Are you asking about 3d printing kits that the model companies no longer make?

If so, that's something I think just about everyone here supports.

That will be quite a chore.
First you have to have a 3D scanner and a 3D printer, scan the parts from a kit and do print files from the scans, and then print them out, the Revell Peterbilt Can-Do/Will-Do wrecker has about 650 individual parts and the Revell Kenworth K100 kits somewhere around 300-350, so it's time consuming and most likely expensive to do a complete 3D printed kit of these.
Revell still have the tooling for these kits so they will most likely come out again sometime.

Your probably better just getting the kits. Buying an aftermarket printed copy of a kit wont save you any money and would likely cost even more. a typical 3d printed kit seems to be almost 3 times the cost of a plastic kit and with the number of parts a truck might be even more costly. But 3d has given us stuff the kit makers have never done and upgrades for the kits that are available.
