We're working in brass. We're working in aluminum. We're working in acrylic and we're getting prototypes that feel a lot more like finished products and obviously can be used in a number of applications where something like 3D printing just would not be applicable, or making finished products out of wood that looks like an actual thing you would wanna put on display.
