Right now the minimal volume is in the 1000s of cubic microns but a printing press could scale down pretty far. The process is interesting; they make UV curable metal inks, ceramic inks, and plastic inks. They print a layer, cure it, plane the layer smooth, and then do it again over and over. After the printing you have block of material that is fired in an oven. This allows the metal and ceramic to sinter together. They have also developed an ink to fill in the negative space in an object, that ink is leaves the object during the firing phase. Josh,
