Electron beam welding has been explored with some success by LQMT. I am extremely skeptical, however, that Exmet is able to 3D-print from powdered feedstock without rampant crystallization. Their parts will be structurally inferior to injection molded/die cast BMG, but they may be useful for very specific applications requiring only moderate strength but maximum corrosion resistance. Any other complex part that must be additively manufactured could be done so less expensively using traditional alloys.

They're pursuing a niche of a niche, but it's always good to have more companies out there extolling the virtues of amorphous alloys.
