Before anyone gets too excited, this still requires sintering to finish your part, i.e. it has to be baked to a metal-fusing temperature in a special purpose kiln that is so expensive that it'll require a mortgage to buy one, or you'll have to send all of your parts away to get processed and wait for them to get sent back.
The headline here is that this stuff requires less postprocessing in that regard, but it is still absolutely not for hobbyists or home printers.
This way you only need one mortgage for the furnace, no need to spend a mortgage on chemical processing equipment
Meh, you can get used and working benchtop electric heat treat furnaces for around $500US that would be suitable for home use.
Oh wow! I was just continuing the bit, but that is genuinely much cheaper than I thought
