"Imagine printing a table leg or a chair frame in minutes using liquid metal.
Researchers from MIT have developed a new additive manufacturing technique that
can do just that.

Their technique, called liquid metal printing (LMP), involves depositing molten
aluminum along a predefined path into a bed of tiny glass beads. The aluminum
quickly hardens into a 3D structure, ready to be used or further processed."
