RE:RE:"Testing" means no sales for about a year.Titanium scrap is not $1.00 per pound for grade 5 (6AL-4V) solids or useables and the price of new DFAR compliant and aerospace spec Titanium is very expensive. Also it doesn't take a year to test Titanium and have it certified to a certain ASM or ASTM spec.. Certain parts can be machined for less, but many aerospace parts are made up of several machined parts and can be built cheaper and much stronger using 3D technology. Also there is much less waste printing a part than machining. There will probably always be parts that are better machined and other parts that are better being printed. That decision is for the experts. Regardless, exciting times to be receiving orders and ramping up production.

You can machine-make parts cheaper than 3D printing.

Upticks are normal on a down trend, but the trend in the last six months is still down.
Nice hype and FOMO, though, from UncleWrong and the Dreamers.
