So can I get your number? Pic related

Yes, sort of. We can even print transistors, very large, very slow transistors, very power consuming transistors:

A more practical approach is do something like the digital dice and wireless charger in pic related. You print an object and embed chips and other components into it while it's being printed and trace on circuitry.

Pic related was done manually, the chips and conductive ink were put on by hand.

Unfortunately, we don't have very good conductive inks. Pic related uses special $ilver paste, it is pretty expensive.

if you mean printing bioabsorbable implants for replacing broken bones or tissue, it's happening now at the research scale. Has been used successfully in humans if I recall correctly.

notice I said precision ball bearings, the surface roughness of laser sintered parts is pretty high, much higher than any mass produced ball bearing.

>>ever played around with laser-sintering 3D Printers?
I've worked with them.
