Bringing metallurgy into the 21st century: Precisely shaped metal objects provide unprecedented alloy control
Caltech scientists have developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition, giving them unprecedented control of the metallic mixtures, or alloys, they create and the enhanced properties those creations will display. Want a stent that is biocompatible and mechanically robust? How about strong but lightweight satellite components that can operate in space for decades?

Still going to need people who know the processes to find the needs and use cases, and then design the paets with the new material dynamics.
…and that will most likely be the bottlebeck to technological advancement.
… making that even more of a problem is that many people who could use such technology might not have the money to even consider futuristic new processes.
Most technological booms have use homebrew scenes, and very low entry points.

Uh, what?
The computer age was started pretty directly as a result of WW2.

I said boom, not age.
The boom took until the mid to late 80s to start. Because that’s when the homebrew hobbyist were prolific enough to start a boom.
