Uh, the widely varying properties, maybe? Titanium and gold have
slightly different properties.

Jimp posted a reference to a Wikipedia article. You really should
read it.
We can 3-D print *right now*:


Thermoplastics, eutectic metals, edible materials, Rubbers, Modeling
clay, Plasticine, Metal clay (including Precious Metal Clay), Ceramic
materials, Metal alloy, cermet, metal matrix composite, ceramic matrix
composite
Nylon or Nylon with short carbon fiber + reinforcement in the form
Carbon, Kevlar, Glass and Glass for high temperature fiber
Photopolymer,Photopolymer + thermally activated chemistry
Almost any metal alloy including Titanium alloys



why not print pizza.... ? should be a huge demand for that...

I saw a pancake printer at Makerfest a few years ago. The pancakes were
pretty good tasting too.

Why would you print, rather than extrude?


Some people are monomaniacal about 3D printing.


I guess the difference is the size of the dot. Pancakes are just a
big dot.


Pizza is a big dot, with smaller dots on it. embedded dots.

I believe this has already been done.

While not a printed pizza, the first "pizza ATM" was installed in my
state:

If these things can be profitable anywhere, it's on college campuses.

On the other hand see this:

Navy Partnership Goes to New Depths with First 3D-Printed Submarine.

https://energy.gov/eere/articles/nav...nted-submarine

It's a 3D-printing of a carbon-fiber submarine hull. Judging by the video
the finish is quite smooth in this case, which would be required for a
submarine.

Exactly what a 3D printer is usefull for, a one off prototype.

An article from 2015:

3-D-printed car could hit streets next year. Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY 4:48
p.m. EST November 12, 2015
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/...swim/75530830/

Several companies have come out with what they call "3D-printed" cars, but
none have 3D-printed the most important part, the engine.

This would be difficult to do with an internal combustion engine, with its
high temperatures, multiple moving parts, and high tolerances.

But it shouldn't be too difficult with an electric engine. In fact
considering there are now miniature 3D-printers on the market for the home,
an amateur could be the first to produce an entire, scale-size, 3D-printed
car.
And then it could be scaled up to produce a full-size, working, fully
3D-printed automobile.

This would revolutionize the industry, obviously.

The two most difficult parts would be the engine and the transmission.

This video shows how you can make your own simple electric motor:

How to Make an Electric Motor at Home - YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p2QTE26VOA

Looking at the steps in the video, it appears they could all be
accomplished by 3D-printing.

According to the company their method which uses high speed (supersonic)
jets to deposit the metal does not have the resolution of other metals so
they are focusing on applications where that is not required.

Which means pretty much every part in a car couldn't be printed with this.

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


"Where's the Affordable Carbon Fiber Automobile?"

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/5...er-automobile/

"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."


An other subjective quote from the same article:

"
But for the first time, a handful of 2016 models sold in neighborhood
car dealerships will feature ultralight yet expensive carbon fiber
materials.
"

A large part of the racing bikes sold in the Netherlands are carbon fiber.

So?
