How expensive is this?

I might need to make something using this method...

No, silly, that is transparent aluminum.

Intriguing process. It would seem there might be more value added in constructing entire mechanisms by this method. Effectively, one might make a clock in a single step by this technology, but I do wonder about its wear characteristics under abrasion.

I’m forwarding the article to my daughter-her fiancé has 2 3-D printers and I don’t have his contact info. I doubt he has the equipment to duplicate anything like this, but he might find it interesting anyway.

3D printing is just super cool. I built a chris craft hull with a chassis that will handle an motor mount, steering, and RC module.

It’s interesting stuff.

Every so often I print something with my little Bambu 3d printer.

Pretty soon the powers that be will be 3D printing entire cars and aircraft....................and mundane things like toasters and washing machines...............

That is super cool! Sort of like 3D printing, followed by sintering.
