^ yeah. I understand that it's just a prototyping device (I've used one at my university workshop actually, it's amazing to watch), but I can see some real consumer demand for things like that when the technology becomes better and more affordable. I guess the printers might one day have different powders that can replicate many materials, so even complex multi-material objects could be printed; printable electronics are perfectly feasible. Imagine downloading the plans for a new computer and just printing one off!
