I assume it was directly printed in metal.

I googled it. It does appear it is possible to print in titanium and other hard alloys. I saw the welds on the prototype and concluded incorrectly you could not print in metals hard enough to take the pressures.

They must have still had to use old fashion welding equipment. I see a bead near the top.
