There is no doubt that what has been done is brilliant a great achievement.
I ask the question purely out of interest, FDM has its uses, i use it, but i am not sure I agree with Materialise on all points.

FDM has strength issues in the layer plane and is not ‘solid’ due to its nature of construction.

SLS offers a range of very good materials including carbon fibre, steels, nylons (with and without glass) when built this way parts are fully functional, I know, I use them and also supply Formula one teams, military, automotive, medical and aerospace.

Nice job Gonzalo[sm=thumbs_up.gif]
