3D printing has come a long way in just a handful of years. IIRC,
there's another company that's also doing this. At first I was
skeptical of the process; could it actually handle the repeated pressure
spikes, but based on the testing it appears it can. This design is
simply genius. If they coupled this with the OSS/Huxwrx flow-through
design, I think you'd have the best of all worlds; zero backpressure and
enhanced cooling.
