Again, you are comparing 100 years of exponential innovation to yesterday's technology. Yes, even today you can print many metals (gold, silver, titanium, aluminum, Tungsten, stainless steel, etc.) and you can print glass and fibers– let alone what will be possible in the future. And we aren't just talking 3D printing when discussing home manufacturing–there are reductive tools like CNCs and lasers as well.

You can walk through any Target or Walmart and see hundreds of items the could be made at home in the future.
