Wouldn't you be able to recover most of the removed titanium, amortizing the majority of that guesstimated materials cost? Processing likely remains expensive,

Wouldn't you be able to recover most of the removed titanium, amortizing the majority of that guesstimated materials cost? Processing likely remains expensive, however.
- solarkraft 9y agoI'd think so. They also 3D print a lot, but metal powder does seem expensive.
- cjsawyer 9y agoPrinted metal has huge issues with heat, and they just switched from aluminum gridfins to titanium because of the heat. I seriously doubt that they’re usung additive techniques here.
