It is cool and there is lot of great applications for it like design, development and custom work. Once it scales up and becomes affordable it will be the norm for many manufacturers. Something like that could change the entire structure of business, if you can make anything with it you could manufacture everything you need for your product in house.

I think that the next major step will be in the types of materials that can be used to make different products!?
That is going to be tough .. for instance, making that wrench out of steel!?

Like any tech it will take time but the benefits are huge, for example a car manufacturer or any manufacturer would never have to retool their line. They can be building different model cars within the same plant with very few costs. The design to production phase becomes very streamlined because they would no longer need outside vendors for a lot of parts.
Another good application for this technology would be easy manufacture of parts/hardware that are no longer made.
For instance, if you have a house with really old cabinet handles that aren't made anymore, you could send an example/specs to these guys and have them print one off for you.
