I don’t think the plastics used in the current generations of 3D printers are up to the task.

I know that Space-X (private space launch firm) has at least two 3D printers that are up to the task, however.

They are extremely accurate and the print medium is titanium.

But the machines cost millions each.

not true, it has now been done successfully.

the tech race is over. The Cuomo Magazine is fully functional for multiple uses.

This is like the time when aluminum became super cheep to produce, prices collapsed.
