It seems like this technology is still embryonic. For example, I don't think you can print reinforced parts (GRP, with glass fibers, for example) and I am not sure about the ability to add UV inhibitors to the plastic raw stock to keep parts exposed to sunlight from disintegrating. Not sure as well about the temperature characteristics of the feedstock... will it remain flexible in the Minnesota cold or soften in Arizona sunlight? Lots of questions...
