Isn't it time this process was given a new name? It does not resemble printing in any way.

Yes.

And I've also felt the same about CD/DVD/BluRay "burning" for a long time now.

I expect it already has several more accurate names. But a printer is something you want in your home.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Those who specialise in 3d printing with metals call it additive manfacturing.

It's pretty good nowhere near as much waste compared to reducing a chunk of metal by maching to make a part.

It takes a lot longer to addititve manufacture something probably uses heaps more power with laser welding each layer.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.
