More and more one sees 3D-printers with two or three print heads (heated nozzles depositing hot plastic material).

What I would like to see is a 3D-printer which has one nozzle to lay down tin-lead solder.

This would allow to 3D-print a circuit board. The board made from some plastic material as used today for 3D-printers, and on top of this board some conducting traces or lines from tin-led solder could be deposited, such creating a circuit board.

But one could also lay down tin-lead solder traces on any three dimensional structure to create "wires". Electronic components could be added by soldering them to the tin-lead solder traces or lines.

Has anybody seen a 3D printer which can "print" tin-lead solder structures (on top of plastic structures) with a second or third print head?
