Pretty sure this isn't a repost and is probably the most amazing thing I've seen in a long ass time.

That... is... effin amazing. I new they were coming out with 3d printers, but they have gone leaps and bounds since the last time I seen one.

That was very interesting, I didn't know something like this existed..

There is a local company that's called TRW Automotive that has a 3d printer. They use it to make multiple different types of automotive products. I use to work for them a few years back when they first came out with the rain sensors in Chrysler vehicles. Pretty neat stuff to see how everything is made and how it works. Pretty much anything that has to do with the heater, A/C or venting system inside the car, along with all the controls on the dash/steering column in all newer Chrysler vehicles pretty much come from TRW. I'm sure they have expanded to other vehicle makes but I know for sure they worked with Chrysler for awhile.

Those are pretty cool! I've always thought i could have a lot of fun with one of those or a rapid prototype machine (basically the same thing)
