Metal 3D printing at 100 times the speed and a twentieth of the cost

EveryTime

You might be able to print in an office-like environment, but that's not the whole process. You have to process the part in a sintering furnace. That's not office-friendly, nor is it fast.

My impression is that sintering cycle is effectively a day. Five minutes to print a (simple) part in a machine the size of an old copier sounds appealing. Sending it out to the long line of ovens in the basement.. not so much.
