If such a beast does exist I'd be even more amazed than the leapmotion controller. But I have a nagging feeling the author doesn't know what they are talking about.
milling =/= printing
Edit: Well then, I stand corrected. I wasn't even aware there were 3D metal printers available.

- DasIch 13y agoSuch a thing does exist and it's explained in the video, although it's not exactly printing and the wikipedia article doesn't call it printing either[1]. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_metal_laser_sintering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_metal_laser_sintering
