The steel prints would then must be Sweater Dress CNC machined to achieve the required tolerances and surface finishes, usually accounting for 70% of price of|the price of} the print and including weeks of lead time. Metal prints would warp and bend by a lot as} a cm when minimize from the baseplate from the internal residual stresses shaped by the extraordinary warmth of the process. It was also phenomenally slow and costly, taking days to make prints that might price hundreds, and often fail mid-build resulting in weeks of iteration per part. The material properties would vary from construct to construct, with micro-pores and fissures drastically decreasing the strength of the components versus cast or CNC machined components.
