I want to say that that has been around a while, but it's still cool none the less.

We had something similar back in HS and College. The one in HS printed with SLA and the one in college printed with nylon and a binder and had to be cured with a UV light.

I don't get how it is a printer... A printer is something that prints something not make 3D objects. I guess a CNC machine they use to make wheels too is a 3d printer? I didn't watch the whole video and skipped around so I may have missed that.

It prints in layers.

A CNC machine removed layers.

It "prints" 2 dimensionally, layer upon layer. You start with nothing, and end up with 3D object.

A CNC machine starts with a 3D object, and whittles it down to the correct specifications, totally the opposite.

I remember reading about this in Maxim 10 years ago. Technology FTW.

That is cool, but I wonder what the strength of it is. I can see bad things happening if I treat that wrench like I do a regular one.
