Anyone else concerned over the structural integrity of 3D printed products?

I can guarantee you that the structural engineers are very concerned about them. 3-D printed structural parts will have to go through the same rigorous validation testing as other materials/processes before they'll ever be certified for flight. 3-D printed metal parts are essentially "castings", minus the mold, and will most likely be treated as such by the structures folks.

Q/ May I wonder about the quality of that factoid?
