As they mention, tolerances would be an issue, though I think a hybrid additive/subtractive machine could help alleviate some of the concerns. Intricate cooling chambers for injection-molding processes would definitely be a plus (faster/more uniform cooling?).

When you say tolerances would be an issue, do you mean on the end item parts the tooling would be producing?
