Metal like plastic

This is a pretty cool new application of a new alloy. For non-heat critical applications this allows for production of metal parts with high tolerances (micron level) and less need of machining after manufacturing. As stated on their website, imagine being able to mold a scalpel blade and having it come out of the mold as sharp as needed with no need for machining the blade to a sharp edge... pretty cool.
