I'd love to see a video on it being printed. From the looks of the layer lines.. it was done vertically?
While I don't really like the look of it, 3D printing combined with CFD-based simulation and optimization sounds pretty cool for creating new things, even at scale.
If I remember correctly the 3D Printing Nerd managed to get a showing of Bosch's new technologies on the subject on his YouTube channel and it looks crazy. Material quantity, performance, print time and cost can all be optimized for a much better overall product using some of these new CAD and prototyping technologies. As a hobbyist it looks so crazy impressive.
