Yes! Well done, guys. So, so awesome! cool

I've a quick question about the 3D-printed bits, however:

This Ti steering wheel made by Renishaw, for instance, looks absolutely fantastic and has clearly been produced exactly as designed on the surface. However, what about on the underside where the printing supports are attached to it? Surely they will need cutting off and trimming by hand, potentially losing some of the exact detail and dimensions required? Is this a problem with 3D-printing in general compared with milling? Producing something exactly as designed on every surface must be hard due to the supports having to go somewhere? Am I incorrect?

There's a short video on the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-3434...

But the "talent" doing the speaking has been given an incorrect script according to which the Jaguar engine feeds oxidiser into the jet engine.

Who was it that was talking to Richard noble at about 6.45 when bbc breakfast came to interview him? The comedy run away from the camera wasn't quite fast enough!
