To make metal 3D printing accessible, YouTuber Integza is experimenting with metal 3D printing with a welder.
3D printing has come a very long way in the past decade, particularly in the consumer market. But all consumer 3D printers produce plastic parts and metal 3D printing is out of the reach of hobbyists. Today’s metal 3D printers utilize the SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) process, in which a laser melts and fuses metallic powder. But SLS 3D printers are very expensive — often hundreds of thousands of dollars. If we’re lucky, more affordable options will hit the market in the future. In the mean time, YouTuber Integza, AKA Joel, is experimenting with metal 3D printing with a welder.
