Hey Software Programmers...

3d-printing, sciensific enginering and photo-realistic graphics...
Get you any idea, what for modules i can be use and whay the best

Virtual reality isn't really all that difficult, all you need is two different cameras slightly apart from each other.  So any decent 3d renderer/engine can handle it.  The problem is mainly that with screens that close to your eyes, you absolutely have to have a high refresh rate, with almost no lag at all, or you'll make people sick.
Photo realistic graphics doesn't really make sense as a python problem, that's more of a modelling problem, which something like Blender is already very good at.
I don't know anything about 3d printing, so I can't help there.
Scientific engineering has scipy and numpy, which are very good.

In addition to Nilamo's great answer I would mention that there is also use for Python in Blender. You can use Python to guide animations, camera movements, placing/orienting objects in a scene... So there is much fun waiting for you out there =)
