    3d printing as is commonly understood should not be confused with laser metal sintering, which is how i believe this comp is manufactured.

    Agreed 100%. I was about to write this myself until I saw WS6 beat me to it.

    I had not seen any metal based products come from 3D printing. I should have paid attention to the website.

    Had a coworker come back from a Vegas show with a metal sintered "castle tower" with circular stairs inside. Very cool toy and that was over 10 years ago. Obviously they have come a long way if they can make a part that survives the muzzle end of a rifle.

    Manticore Nightbrake looks interesting. Thanks.

    It says they're 100% Inconel. The only metallic "3-D Printing" done in Inconel that I know of is Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) or Laser-Freeform Manufacturing Technology (LFMT) which is basically large scale DMLS. Both work by continuously depositing a small amount of powder which is then melted by a laser head.

    You can make lots of funky parts, but the process is slow and might require some stress relief, and the machines can be ungodly expensive.
