Cost of titanium powder:
Companies such as UK-based Metalysis have begun to produce titanium powder for use in 3D printers through electrolysis, without the high heat and energy needed for conventional titanium.

Metalysis has proven that its electrolytic process can also transform natural rutile sands directly into titanium metal powder in a single step, which could be even more disruptive. Rutile is a naturally occurring titanium ore present in beach sands and is a highly cost effective feed stock for metal powder production. Metalysis developed the process itself and has patented it.
