3d printing can do metal now

Shapeways just announced they can do 3d printing in stainless steel.

It is pretty cheap too! The future is rushing in at an astonishing rate!

I suppose I don’t need to elaborate on the huge significance of this. Just think “open source objects of all sorts, made from most common materials, printable by anyone, some assembly required.”
