Traditional machining in the sense that you need industrial space where you can make a mess and a lot of noise as opposed to something you can conceivably use in normal home/office space. Waterjet cutters need special FLOORS because of the weight of the tank. Laser-based SLS and SLM emit both nasty fumes and spread dust everywhere. This is why the tech is not sexy, not because it's less advanced.
