wrote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pk7Mq7ESwI 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.

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.
