Actually this opens up so many new possibilities because you can print parts inside areas that cannot be accessed increasing reliability and performance.
Let alone being able to integrate multiple different kinds of metals together.

Printers that can print multiple materials, not just metals, are true game changers. Then we will see innovation like we never saw before. The possibilities are near endless at that point.

Well that's the thing now we can print non-ferrous metals along with high carbon steel and as well mild steels
Add in plastic silicone and other materials like polymers with glass fibers or carbon fibers...
Absolutely we are looking at a new frontier in engineering.
And what will be the limitations on that?
I think the innovation is going to be truly amazing. Many issues that cannot be solved now will be done simply because the computer can design it and the printer can generate it.
Existing processes are often limiting.

Actually I do believe that pretty much all of our limitations in manufacturing are getting removed
And also moved towards localized production.
3-D printing is going to disrupt the transportation industry big time.
I believe we are going to see an explosion of local and regionalized manufacturing as more is shifted to these devices.

That would be an excellent assessment
