Sweet, I would have loved to go in that direction with a career. (that shipped has sailed, I'm retired now). I think additive manufacturing will have the same impact on manufacturing that CNC did. Would be a smart investment right now to buy into some of the leading industrial level machine manufacturers.

Some of the things I've already seen with metal printing are game changing when it comes to designing components .... saw an amazing liquid/liquid heat exchanger for helicopter hydraulic fluid that was 1/4 the volume, 1/2 the weight and about 40% more efficient than the tube type it was replacing ... it used some kind of fractal geometry for the exchange surfaces all inside a one piece unit. Ferrari has said the recent successful F1 engine used 3D printed pistons.

Any suggestions for a good industry news website I could watch to keep track of the technology?
