Just saw this:

SPEE3D Puts Supersonic Speed in Metal 3D Printing.

According to the company their method which uses high speed (supersonic) 
jets to deposit the metal does not have the resolution of other metals so 
they are focusing on applications where that is not required.

Carbon nanotubes can revolutionize 21st-century technology IF they can be 
made arbitrarily long while maintaining their strength.

Some proposals to accomplish that here:

Which means pretty much every part in a car couldn't be printed with this.
