"Engineers at the University of Southampton have designed and flown the
world's first 'printed' aircraft, which could revolutionise the economics of aircraft
design.
The SULSA (Southampton University Laser Sintered Aircraft) plane is an
unmanned air vehicle (UAV) whose entire structure has been printed, including
wings, integral control surfaces and access hatches. It was printed on an EOS
EOSINT P730 nylon laser sintering machine, which fabricates plastic or metal
objects, building up the item layer by layer."
