Device like ‘Star Trek’ replicator is in the works

"The method, called electron beam freeform fabrication (EBF3), uses an electron beam to melt metals and build objects layer by layer. Such an approach already promises to cut manufacturing costs for the aerospace industry, and could pioneer development of new materials."


This is interesting. Randy posted it in error in Odd Items where it wasn't noticed and I thought it deserved a new thread.
