Solid Concepts 3D Printed 1911. Technology is LASER sintered metal. Initial work done in 2013; LASER sintering has only gotten better since. No reason one could not build an AR this way.

Is laser sintered metal strong, I always got the impression it was brittle like cast Iron?

You can build a V-8 out of glass. Will it run and for how long? What temperature ranges will it handle? Lotsa things to be a knowing.
