Thanks, yes I am blown away.
Unbelievable!

This is very impressive. I investigated 3D printing with one of my projects.
Unfortunately, the prices are still quite high and prohibitive for limited use. However, it doesn't detract from the astonishment of the technology. It is a wonder!
PIC: Just like everything else, it will eventually become affordable
I'm looking forward to the day when I can simply utter

WOW, I am speechless.
So...for a price, anyone who can afford it, can have any model, in any scale they want. OK now....
...if we all chip in $20.00 and send it to me.... (I'd probably still need $120,000.00 more..ha!)

Make it so.
Wow! I've seen 3-D printing before, but never anything like this. I wonder if a process can be developed where parts can be mass-produced quickly using this technology. If so, seems to me that the cost of a die cast would come down considerably. The hurdle, of course, is still hand-assembly, which is time consuming and expensive.
