I find the laser powder bed fusion techniques absolutely fascinating!
I think this is the technology used to print an actual bulletproof, 3D Ironman suit!

Titanium is the 9th most abundant element in the earth’s crust. Minerals containing titanium are very common.
The USA has lots of titanium containing rocks. Other countries produce titanium from their rocks cheaper than the USA does, because of our political constraints on mining and processing.
On property I have in Arizona, I found some rocks I thought might have been meteoric (black, showed signs of melting, mildly magnetic, dense... Nope. When I checked the density, it became clear they were Ilmenite, a type of titanium mineral often found in sufficient concentrations to qualify as ore.
