Tiniest Metal Parts 3D Printed

[RedSox2013]

I thought these were pretty incredible. A new process of micro laser sintering of metal via a 3D Printer has yielded the following miniscule metal parts. These parts are printed by MicroPrint, who can build parts with layer thickness's under 5 micrometers. Microprint expects to grow this technology, expanding their reach. For now it is great for medical devices, jewelry, and automotive nozzles.:

Is this printed by a 3D Printer that is available to consumers or more as something that is being experimented with? If it can print things with such detail that are so small, I wonder what kind of detail it can print in larger objects. I'd love to try this printer out.

JacobysOne, this is something being experimented with and not available to everyday consumers. Here's another image to help you all get a good look at just how small these parts are:
