“3D printers can print with titanium now”

The parts he printed do not need to withstand high pressure so you can make them out of plastic. Barrels are very different and need to be made of high strength steel to withstand 50K psi. If you can do this with titanium you can make a fully functional firearm (or you can just buy a conventionally made steel barrel).

Does this mean I can make my own set of Ronco knives, now?
