You're completely right, it does require a deep knowledge of things like finite element analysis and the whole thing collapses in a heap if you don't carefully apply constraints and penalisation rules. But on the other hand, a title should try to convey some of the excitement of the technology.
We had a lecture from the Additive Manufacturing group from Nottingham University a few months ago and they've built some metallic aerospace parts that look surprisingly similar to the structures of bone networks in nature using this technique. I think I'll be trying to do something similar and make some design and 3D print some parts, compare them against the traditional manufacturing routes and see how the marketplace reacts to them.
If anyone here has an knowledge in this area or seen anything cool using it it'd really be great to hear form them.
