What is the communities opinion on this? I honestly don't believe that it will take that long for integration to occur...what do you guys/girls think?

For those of us with inquisitive minds and brilliant ideas, I agree. The possibilities for experimenting are just endless. I can't wait for mine to arrive. DAB

3D Printing is already common place in prototyping, it may be ready for direct digital manufacturing on a larger scale in the next 5 years. GE is already showing the advantages of directly building turbine sub assemblies as a single part compared to previous methods of assembling them from seven different sub assemblies which required carefully-controlled welds and seam closures.
