==Original Abstract Submitted==

a process for 3d printing metal components involves providing a container of powdered metal material, providing a platform, employing a horizontally mobile feeding and compressing mechanism to dispense specified quantities of the metal material to create multiple layers, and subsequently compacting each of these layers. additionally, a binder is applied to the surface of each layer. furthermore, the feeding and compressing mechanism moves forward to establish a layer of the metal material and then retracts to compact the newly formed layer.
