Germans teach plastic 3D printer to speak fluent titanium.
In a move that gloriously voids the warranty, the folks at 3D Werk Black Forest successfully churned out titanium parts using a Formlabs Fuse 1+ — a machine that, until now, was strictly a plastics-only party. The secret sauce? A clever polymer-coated metal powder from Headmade Materials, that we've covered before. While still in the testing phase, this breakthrough could drop the entry fee for titanium 3D printing to the sub-$30K price point.
