The knife design for the America's Cup team is especially slick.

The knife isn't a commercial product as far as I know; just designed for a racing team.
The SLM and DMLS machines to make those are still incredibly spendy, but I still expect them to become more popular in the decades to come. Likely in line with the rise in prevalence of CNC in the machining world. The prices will come down eventually; the technology is too useful not to.
That all printed powder Inconel 625 1911 pistol Solid Concepts made seems to be up to snuff with a forged and machined one, or able to be refined to that point.

Pretty amazing stuff! I thought the printable implants were fascinating as well. Interesting times we live in!
Very cool tech that seems to be advancing rapidly.
I would love to hang around another 100 years just to see what science can come up with. I'm utterly fascinated at technology like this. Truly a magic time we live in.
