I don’t think I should name the company but while working in a plant I was shown the coolest thing. The cylinders in engine blocks to be rebuilt were “spray” welded in the cylinder bore by a robotic welder. Then they were re-honed to size leaving a better surface for the piston and rings than when new.

A candy 3D printer? You can make candy with that? I’m looking for a 3D printer that will help me produce model railroad parts, such as buildings from photographs, people (such as a few people in wheelchairs), boats and cars (I would love to create a NASCAR race with a 3D printer) and scenery (such as a Peter Nelson tree house).

Interesting but still not close to being able to download a design, press a button, go to bed and wake up with a brand new M1911 ready to be reliably used.

SpaceX is using 3D printing to make superior rocket engine parts. Some of these are being used on their manned space capsule the Dragon.
