The college we machine at has one of these machines. It has been very useful over the year or so.... I even did my calculus project on it (modeling the revolution of the shaft made by a few equations); Most people had clay or posterboard things that were ugly and the 3d print was amazing.

Also, team 330 used the same machine last fall to prototype a transmission.



I've heard of a more advance version of this technology that can make more complex and thinner parts because the support material is water solluble so you don't have to go through the chipping away process.
