The site shows that MetalPrinting has prepared ‘GaussInk’ cartridges with stainless steel, copper, titanium, nickel, iron, and even tungsten materials, and says “custom and alloy ink materials are available upon request.” These cartridges contain the PME paste-like inks.
In brief, the Gauss MT90 extrudes its inks at room temperature. An integrated HEPA filter minimizes any potential emissions into the surrounding space during this process. You can watch through the window, control and monitor it via a 7-inch touch display, and an AI-supported camera is on guard to make sure everything proceeds as it should.

The 3D printed part has to also be heated in a sintering oven, to strongly fuse the metal paste particles, before it is ready. There isn’t much information available regarding the sintering oven process, apparatus, or specifications.
We have previously covered metal 3D printing in space . That Airbus system, deployed in the ISS, was a relatively hazardous device to use in such a constrained environment, with its stainless steel filament melted at 2,192°F (1,200°C) to additively manufacture parts. At least it didn’t introduce powdered metal into the ISS’s cabin atmosphere…
