Heard about this stuff a while back. Very cool but I'm sure with a price tag to match. Not to mention that just modeling a fender or something off of a drawing could easily be 10 hours of engineering time.

It's an issue that I have on my reproductions, not just fighting the unit costs of small purchases (even shipping costs cannot be neglected), but also amortizing the time it takes to model and engineer things off of a drawing, again when I maybe will sell 5 units a year of something.
