Fabrisonic, a company based in Columbus Ohio, has a different approach to metal 3-D printing. When most people think of metal AM, they think of powder bed metal printing, a process where layers of powdered metal are laser-sintered one at a time until an object is formed. Fabrisonic’s approach uses thin films of metal foil, which it prints layer by layer, then adds rapid vibration and a little subtractive machining for good measure.
