When I went in to talk with him and his instructor I ended up feeling sooooo behind the times. I know they can print in plastic and metal but he showed me hybrid plastic-metal infused plastics! Eventually he is going to make me some samples made out of Brass/steel/Copper/bronze and if I want aluminum. Once it gets printed and cleaned up he polishes it and it will look just like whatever metal it is made out of.
Once he is done with the samples and which ever metal I chose I will post pics for you all to see. This 3D printing I think will save the hobby as unique parts get scarcer than they already are.
