Get ready to see a lot more older vehicles back out on the road as shops will be able to precision manufacture parts for older cars.

Very interesting.

As the printer uses a laser and essentially is a sintering process, this could lead to inexpensive metal printers.

If these printers come down to even $20,000 each... Wow.

I wonder if this printer would be adaptable to this process.

It is only $50K, from Australia, and has a chamber 8"x8"x10", a pretty useful size.

I wonder if the sintering process will eliminate the need for post forming heat treat - or at least part of the heat treat processing.
