Ricardo, take a look at:
DMLS - EOS's direct metal laser sintering -
http://www.eos.info/products/metal-laser-sintering.html?L=1
SLS LaserForm - 3D System's metal process (which needs infiltration to
be fully dense) -
http://www.3dsystems.com/products/solidimaging/lasersintering/laserformA6.asp
ProMetal - http://www.exone.com/eng/technology/x1-prometal/
MCP's Realizer - http://www.mcp-group.com/rpt/rpttslm.html
Those are the direct metal technologies I know about, but doubtless
there are more. And if you're just looking for metal parts, there are
plenty of ways to use RP to do that. The direct metal processes aren't
necessarily the most cost efficient ones.
