Its a fair question, and in truth just printing plastic utensils is not a killer app I'd say the most relevant word there is "plastic". I don't want replacemen

Its a fair question, and in truth just printing plastic utensils is not a killer app I'd say the most relevant word there is "plastic". I don't want replacements for my cheap plastic objects. I'd love to "print" with other materials.

That is coming too but on the industrial scale. You can print in metal at Shapeways now, but owning a laser metal sintering machine is not going to be practical unless you can grind up previous things to make new things. There are already at least two filament creator projects out there that make a credible replacement filament out of scrap plastic.
