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.

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

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.
