I didn't realize the ability to 3D print functional parts from metals such as aluminum, titanium, steel, and cobalt chrome was old tech. Please tell us how long that has been done.

The fact you feel so compelled to press your argument is confusing. If I'm wrong, why aren't manufacturers busy tossing out all their expensive, greasy machine tools and buying clean quiet 3D printers?

Haha! Your link is a joke. One idiot makes a gun part out of cheap plastic with a home grade 3D printer meant for prototyping and that proves 3d printing isn't viable as a manufacturing process? This, despite the multiple links I have provided where serious industry like Boeing, Airbus, NASA, Stryker, etc have been 3D printing functional, high stress parts. Mmmmkay, I think I'll go ahead and walk away from this one. Enjoy fellas.

PS- Actually they are. http://exone.com/sites/default/files/media/ExOne_Launch_Press_Release.pdf
