Yes I believe it. I cant here the audio but If its what I think it is, its the way prototypes are increasingly being made. A draftsman draws it, you do a solid model on the computer then send it to the 3d printer. What used to take weeks or months to do now takes 2 days. Make any changes you need and send it back to the 3d printer. If you wont to copy something, say a gun stock, do a 3d scan send it to a Cad Cam program it will wright a CNC machine tool program send that to a 4 or 5 axis CNC milling machine. Put a piece of wood in the machine hit the cycle start button. You can scan a whole car, reduce it down to size of a model car and then make that, on a 3d printer or on a CNC milling machine. Whats even more amazing is we are right on verge of being able to make human parts the same way, hearts and kidneys.
