Items impossible to make any other way - This titanium-lattice ball is a good example of additive manufacturing capabilities. These hollow balls have a complex external geometry, making them incredibly light while remaining stiff and opening up possibilities for future space applications. They could not have been manufactured as a single part using a conventional manufacturing process.
