While puttering around on the Internet, I found this article: 3D-Printed Flute Is Here; 3D-Printed Stradivarius Next. There are some issues, but it's still pretty amazing.
The flute took around 15 hours to print and was printed in four separate pieces which were then assembled later. Zoran designed the Flute using a CAD program, then sent the CAD drawing to the printer.
A little poking around found printed 3D architectural models, shoes, a skateboard, and even a motorcycle.
If you want to know how 3D printing works, check out this Wikipedia article.
Okay, being a flute player....I just have to say, that is totally wierd! Where do you find this stuff!!!
