Wisconsin-based startup The Virtual Foundry launched a product on Kickstarter that promised to allow a standard desktop 3D printer to create fully-metal parts using the same basic FDM technology that is used to print with thermoplastics. They have now started shipping out rewards and selling the metal powder-infused PLA on their website. Unlike other metal filaments, Filamet is made up of 88% metal powder materials and only 12% plastic, which means that it requires a lot less post processing to achieve its metallic finish. Additionally, the higher metal powder content in Filamet allows any printed parts to be put through a finishing process in a kiln that will burn off the PLA binding materials, sinter the remaining metal particles and leave a fully-metal part behind.
