While I appreciate the technology, government research facilities seem preoccupied with 3-D printing the jackboot that will crush the face of freedom forever.
This 3d printing stuff is kind of a joke.
Will it work? Yes
Can you just imagine something and conjure it up? No
You still have to know how to make it by hand AND you need to learn programing and CAD skills.
Once the data parameters are input and the source materials are acquired and loaded I guess you can mash a button, and viola!
I like that they are approaching the task of multiple materials.
3-D ping.
