One property I would like to try, which is fairly unique to 3D printing processes, is sintered titanium. Titanium is incredibly hard to work with in traditional fabrication methods, and can only be joined by cold connections such as riveting, tab settings, etc, without the flexibility of casting or soldering to create 3D forms. There are some amazing examples of titanium jewellery which take advantage of this strength in order to create 3D forms from titanium folded into origami-like structures, but for the most part titanium is present in flat or domed forms. Direct Metal Laser Sintering allows the printer to take advantage of titanium's strength, allowing it to build complex forms which would traditionally be more fragile in cast metals. I'm interested to see how Direct Metal Laser Sintering can be taken advantage of in my designs.
