I'm a 3D printing enthusiast. I find this to be incredibly interesting.
There was an interesting product at CES that used a gelatinous bed into which resin is injected and cured making it possible to print objects without supports.
Being able to do this with metal opens up a ton of future manufacturing options. It's not quite the same process and it's quite early, but with refinement this could be a very interesting future option for quickly building entire objects in minutes that would normally take hours.
