Now this is Very Cool!!

I worked with designer lamps and home decor years ago...
I can see this method of creating completely Wild sort of vases, lamps and glass wares.

It would be really cool if they could print fiberglass and inject epoxy resin right from the print.

That would be convenient!

It'll probably have to be very tiny bits of fiberglass though... To be equally suspended in the resin? During the print process..

Yeah I think that could defeat much of the strength of the long fibers being oriented and certain directions.
It would probably have to be a custom machine that has a spool of fiber and a separate nozzle for the resin.
