Not only that, but if you can print finished parts you can engineer parts that cannot be physically machined.

- TOMDM 4y agoYeah, the ability to rapid prototype parts with occluded cavities that can't be machined by a CNC makes this a compelling capability all on its own.

- etrautmann 4y agoGreat point, though I think this isn’t a great example - it should be straightforward to machine that part with a 5 axis cnc since all of the suns rays pass straight through and an end mill could approach from each of those angles as well.
