Sounds impressive , a clear indicator that the 3d printing revolution has already commenced.YES???
Now tell me what ONE DESCRIPTIVE WORD has been removed from this report.
It makes all the difference to becoming over-excited about the facts & the reality of current deployment and usage of 3d printing ...just as a reality check, and to help newbs* with decisions about betting the family home on a newstart 3d developer. You get it , a balanced appraisal , and the reality of unconsummated dreams... versus YIPPEE I-OH*
So, keep a level head and realize that the article refers to a specific type of replacement part...in this one specific area....for argument's sake.
