3D printing. There's a firm started by some faculty in this department that has raised 215 million dollars to do sintering of metal. In my opinion, don't invest. But let me tell you a secret. The venture capitalists who are funding that — they don't care if it's successful. What are they looking for? Exactly. How do they make money? They have an IPO, and all you suckers buy the stock in something that will go nowhere.
