An irrelevant red herring to the subject of 3D printing. There are a HUGE number of different composite materials out there and it has taken well over half a century for most aircraft to have even a small fraction of composite materials in their construction.

Whoopee. It is still niche. Does anyone care about a shape optimized 4 slice toaster or filing cabinet? > Jeff -- Jim Pennino
