To me water jet cutter would be far more interesting than any 3D printer. Real water jet cutters are expensive to buy and own. Cheaper alternative would be very nice.

3D printer I might get if there is one on that produces lost wax type patterns for investment casting. Total cost should be  reasonably low.

NeoTech:
And here you can buy it. =)

All the SLA printers will do that.

BillTodd:
interesting.  the waterjet at the works has a 10kW motor and a 3800bar pump it'll cut 4" steel but is not the quickest thing you'll ever see. I wonder just how useful this little thing really is????

Aren't the abrasives re-usable? [to some extent?]
