  Yeah, that would only be useful if you used the same tip shape on all your models or you made multiple different shaped molds that you could go back to.. Not a terrible idea but most people like a little variety.

Bob Hunt molded some using balsa sheet.

Dan McEntee:
  There have been R'C models with vacu-formed plastic wing tips, and I'm sure it's not new to control line models with all of the small kit manufacturers there have been over the years. If I were to do it, that is the way I would go, but then you may have some paint adhesion issues, or just try to dope on some tissue strips so you have a good base for paint.
   One way or another, you are going to have to carve at least one!!

Howard Rush:
I wonder how light you could print one.  It would be cool to include the weight box and leadout guides in the prints.
