It's unlikely Murray's T25 production concept uses 3D printing, as it's much more expensive than current production methods for series production. For production of metals, current sintering printers don't achieve the same metal strength that casting or forging would. For plastics, I haven't seen a printer that can do fiber-reinforced plastics yet.


Current printers also have a hard time producing components that use dissimilar materials, e.g. wiring: the copper wire must be produced first and allowed to cool before you can add the insulation.
