There are lots of 'print bureaus' now that render metal. Anyone can do it. The raw parts can be polished, machined, etc.

And the reaction is - abundant negative comments. Everything is amazing, and nobody is happy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r1CZTLk-Gk

Indeed.

Here are some nice titanium drops 3D printed for a bicycle in mass production: http://road.cc/content/feature/63359-exclusive-printing-tita...

More of this happens than people realise. I remember seeing those drops and wondered how they did it given the temperatures that you need to have to work titanium.

Naysaying is what HN is all about! We just prefer to call it 'criticism'. We like to say 'HA! I see a FLAW in your work here, that means I'm smarter than you!'
