Although very widespread in the global 3D printing market, steel 3D printing still encompasses very expensive technologies. The price of steel 3D printing is a direct result of three factors: the price of 3D printers capable of producing steel, the cost of materials and the need for highly skilled labour to program the machine in order to define the print settings (placing 3D printing supports in some cases, defining the layer thickness , orienting the part within the production volume, etc.).
Similarly to steel 3D printing, other metals can be 3D printed using these same technologies. It is now possible to print metals such as aluminium, titanium, cobalt-based alloys, nickel-based alloys, etc.
