Cool, Vall. I saw that Jay Leno has a similar piece. It was on My Classic Car. The 'printers' are amazing. Leno's makes them out of thin plastic rods. The parts are exact replications, like a chain that moves like a chain. Leno has tons of pre 1920 cars. He showed a complicated part (a tank of some sort) that he needed reproduced that was $4500 if a shop had to do it, but with his plastic model he had a new piece made for $200!
They can make parts from scans - Leno said that there were a million points per square inch - or from scratch (computer generated). It's an amazing world that we live in.
He also showed the BASF 'painted' chrome. That's pretty cool too.
