Titomic has taken an old Soviet process and supersized it. Most metal 3D printers have to work in a vacuum. Their printer smashes powder at supersonic speeds. Free of a vacuum chamber the sky is the limit. For example the whole hull of a large ship could be given a titanium coat. The mechanical properties may limit aerospace manufacturing for now. The story behind the headlines is it can use Titanium sands raw.
