Ooo this is huge...
It can cut all sorts of indirect costs in the manufacturing lines it's implemented on.

Did you guys read the original article?
...Fiber optic cables embeded in solid metal forms... metal and alloy matrices...
Just imagine how mechanical and structural engineering will change when the John Brittens of the world get their hands on this. This is big. Perhaps not as big as CNC in general, but I'd put it up there with water cutting, or tig welding. Actually, it seems like an evolution of robotic tig anyway.
