On: Teenager can walk again thanks to Dutch 3D printed...

The article says it’s titanium

This is just “manufacturing” which has little resemblance to the consumer makerbot products

Hmm sure but it’s still 3D printing? It’s hard to imagine a conventional CNC machine doing this.

But then again I know nothing about CNC machines.

Some components with complex overhangs and voids can be impossible to mill with a CNC. A sintering 3D printer isn't constrained in that regard, and can make arbitrarily complex geometry without sacrificing precision.
