[Eric D.]

I just stumbled across this video clip regarding a 3-D "printer".

If the plastics/composite recipe was up to the task, this might be a fantastic 
tool for building custom action parts. It would be handy to just "print out" a 
new set of those obscure whippen flanges for that Chickering you might be 
working on. Of course, some benevolent piano tech would need to create an 
appropriate template for such a part.
