It does not look like a basket weave print. Is it as strong as the cloth? That is my question.

I am more impressed by the 3D house printer that can print a house a day.

It actually prints in plastic and lays down a filament of carbon for reinforcement. I am interested in how they are laying the carbon down and bonding it to the plastic. 3d printers now are just basically cnc glue guns for plastic. I would like to see a comparison of how much stronger the parts are as my printer now has no problem with polycarbonate parts which are pretty strong as is.
