What are you basing this on? What printable polymer is as "strong as Aluminum"? My high school just got a $40,000 printer that prints ABS. According to the spec sheet, that has tensile strength of 37MPa. By comparison, my Materials Science textbook says that Aluminum has a tensile strength of 90MPa. Please provide support for your claims.
