      The Renishaw AM250 prints using metal powders (stainless steel, aluminium, titanium etc). Full listing here:
      http://www.renishaw.com/en/am250-laser-melting-metal-3d-printing-machine--15253

      It looks like a nicely designed machine. I like the way it handles the powders.

      The laser in action is shown here:

      Something useful from the printer - a bike frame:

          Dukejazz, I have heard the value of the machine is over $1 million, and the raw titanium powder used in the machine is ~$500/kg. 😲
