Additive Manufacturing – What is missing?

One area that remains beyond the grasp of 3-D printing is optical components. “At least using our current manufacturing processes,

we cannot make clear components of optical purity, or components with that kind

of control over refractive index,” said Jackson. “The technology doesn’t allow it.”

(T.Hayes, Optics & Photonics News, August 2013)
