Well this is pretty cool.

Apparently Boeing has been using a technology called 3d printing with FDM on it's planes.

Has anyone heard of this?

The way it works is you simply upload a design file in these machines and out pops a physical version of it. I'm assuming it prints out in parts and you assemble them.

Heck they even have these for model rc planes like for this Spitfire. Now you can even 3d print your own studio monitors. Which is crazy.

Love to make my own custom parts if this thing is not expensive.
