Wow that's pretty cool! I want a 3d printed guitar and amp for my flat. I love the sweater of the physicist guy so typical for that kind of persons

That is beyond awesome. This changes everything, that is so true As these printers become cheaper and cheaper, we'll start to see 3D printing stores of large formats in our vicinity, small-format ones in houses, and advance of materials needed for printing, so we can create some very strange objects! Everything will become more unique, instead of mass produced and uniform. That is awesome

Saw one of these demonstrated at a Machine Tool Exhibition and it was amazing to see!!!

WOW!! me wants one!

so here it goes...can we print a guitar?

Seriously, this is amazing, I guess they will be using this for different engineering tasks in the near future

That was amazing, it does remind me of something out of science fiction! I'm agreeing with Daniel, can it print out guitars? or Picks? or Strings? The possibilities seem amazing!

I am an engineer in the rocket industry and we are now beginning to fabricate very complex rocket engine hardware using a similar process. The process we use involves direct import of 3D CAD data into a "printer" that uses lasers to sinter extremely fine layers of metalurgical powder. The parts we are fabricating could not be made my conventional machining processes and they are being constructed out of very high strength metal. This is a big time game changer.
