Some bold performance claims I doubt they have any real evidence for. Nonetheless, it is a very interesting concept. They've been using this technology for prototype modeling for some time; I used to know someone who ran one of these machines.
2013 goals: Kick some arse. Moreso than 2012.

Now, what would be really nice is if companies sold the patterns for their shoe-lines so you could print them yourselves. Want some 1974 era Nikes? <print>
Of course, they'd find some digial rights management so they could make a profit, but wouldn't it be worth it -- never find yourself without a new pair of your favorite kicks.
2013 Goals: 18:49 5K • 1:25 HM • sub-3 Marathon • run lots of races
