We've been working with another company on something even more
advanced. Their direct metal printer works exactly like an inkjet
printer except that the "ink" is molten stainless steel. We designed
the induction heated melting chamber that rides on the X-Y arm.

This should REALLY be a game changer, though it will be too expensive
for home use. Maybe for a makerspace.

Pretty darned cool. Now, how much is marketing and how much is
reality?

Do you have to run the printing process in an inert gas atmosphere?

Yes. The first prototype had the whole mechanism in an argon-filled
enclosure. Last I heard they were working with a TIG-like affair that
surrounds the print head and a few cm of surrounding area with argon.
