What does a barrel of aluminum welding wire cost?
I work for Arconic and we actually have 3D printers that can 3D print aluminum and titanium alloys. I really wish I could utilize some of the companies capabilities and technology. A lot of things we have, and our capabilities would be a game changer in the Diesel Motorsports world.
