You're all ass, Chimp.

And about the only place where weight matters that much is in things
that fly and in that case useless mass is already gone from the design
without the expense of 3D printing.


That's why we use carbon fiber on cars; because weight doesn't matter.

Oh, it's not just "things that fly" anymore. Now it's 'affordable'.
My car has carbon fibre parts. I thought it was pretty affordable.

"While the cost of carbon fiber materials and production has declined
in recent decades, it remains prohibitive for anything but limited
applications in niche vehicles."


That would, according to the Chimp's prior statements, no doubt be the
flying cars, since flying vehicles are the only ones where weight
matters that much (according to him).
