Do you know if it was a plastic printer or a laser one?
I was at the airshow at oshgosh and at the nasa area they had 2 small laser printers. They put in a dust like plastic/wood and then a laser hist areas where it they want more dust to be applyed and microsopic layres are created. They had interlocked gears (Should have brought a camera) that couldn't be taken apart but could turn, they were made together. Overall very cool stuff. I think its 100% the only method that will be used once it works with metal. You can create a solid hollow box, and other basicly ipossible things.
