I like it for making prototypes and then actualy cast the mold with the material needed like in the end of the video. For actualy useable items, the material is not the best.
I can't believe the skateboard was rideable... So it's not just some sort of plaster or silicone they can do this with... it's hard usable materials! This is truly incredible to me. Not printing in 3D... But with usable materials. awesome.
No it's not really useable materials. It is still powder based, fused during the printing process. With the skateboard you can notice he mixes a 2-part resin and coats the entire surface, that is what made it strong enough to ride back and forth, but it would still crack in two if you jumped on it. It like the Z Printer 450 are more for prototyping/modelling but way cool.

Now if only they could also show off real-world zooming technology, such as Bicubic or Nearest Neighbor.

slice an object and you'll have a number of 2d shapes, print them, pile them and you'll have your 3d object again.....

it prints like a thin glue in small layers, that stick the powder together and make it 3d.
