I had seen this video a few years ago. I have a friend that works for a R&D company and he uses a printer that does almost this same technique. They make some 3D model of some really neat stuff but the real world applications are still in the development phases and the cost for one of these type machines are like 125,000. So just a tad expensive.

I didn't think this was something that's been around for a while.

The metal printer is even more unreal...

actually as cool as that is.... thats nothing compaired to what else their doing with that tech. I'm an old star trek fan, and ive always tried to keep up with new tech, as far as what we have or are working on. Their actually printing kidneys and lungs and such with this tech in labs, and have been for a couple years now. they dont have it perfected yet, but their very close.
Hey, if the Mayan's were right... at least we dont need to xmas shop this year... being lazy pays off, in the end. :D
