Put him out of his misery guys ....

W534220 .... one of the strength of the tech is that - unlike laser sintering (which requires the ultra expensive milled powders) titomic process uses powders that are a lot cheaper ($20-$30 from memory - look it up) and there are even cheaper ways of getting powders from ilmenite and rutile coming online. Add to that billet might be cheaper per kilo in raw form - but given you have to mill away most of the material to get the shape you want (subtractive manufacture as opposed to additive - and machining billet is a majorly painful, costly and time consuming process) the Titomic process works out to be far more cost and time effective.

As a suggestion, follow the advice of the forum - read and research before posting incorrect detail (even after being corrected) repeatedly - just a suggestion.

DYOR ... and good luck to all ....
