(ABC 6 News) — One Iowa man is using 3D printing to spread holiday cheer.

Ryan Shultz is taking his hobby to the next level, partnering with the organization 1C3D, which works nationwide to 3D print toys to donate to Toys for Tots.

Shultz started printing toys back in September and has since created over 1000 to be donated.

“In my time as a foster parent, I saw many kids come with absolutely nothing,” Shultz said. “When I look back at all the kids that I fostered, I had 10 different kids. I adopted three of them, and I look at what I could do the little things along the way for each kid and how important that was, something like this could mean a worldly difference to somebody.”

Registered families will pick out toys starting next week.
