GE uses or will be using 3-Printed fuel nozzles in one of their next generation jet engines so I imagine it won't be too long before the technology will be utilized in the automotive industry and racing.

And in doing that, we wanted to keep it all factory OEM Porsche or Porsche Motorsport where possible. And it turns out that with the exception of the tie rods and sway bars, it's all factory Porsche.
If something happens at the track to the suspension (off track excursion, hit something or someone, etc...), if I don't have a spare, there's a 99.9% chance that lots of other people will, which is a big deal.
I'm off to Vision.....

I'd say that was in reply to the question on suspension.
