Something from Nothing? GM Using “Additive Printing” for Prototype and Even Production Parts A GM engineer works with a 3D printer at the automaker’s new Additive Industrialization Center. At a clip too rapid for the human eye to discern, a laser beam fires into a pool of liquid polymer. Each time it does, it causes a tiny droplet of the goo to harden.

It’s been around for several decades but is just beginnin...
