Uh, the widely varying properties, maybe? Titanium and gold have
slightly different properties.

Jimp posted a reference to a Wikipedia article. You really should
read it.
We can 3-D print *right now*:

Thermoplastics, eutectic metals, edible materials, Rubbers, Modeling
clay, Plasticine, Metal clay (including Precious Metal Clay), Ceramic
materials, Metal alloy, cermet, metal matrix composite, ceramic matrix
composite
Nylon or Nylon with short carbon fiber + reinforcement in the form
Carbon, Kevlar, Glass and Glass for high temperature fiber
Photopolymer,Photopolymer + thermally activated chemistry
Almost any metal alloy including Titanium alloys



why not print pizza.... ? should be a huge demand for that...


I saw a pancake printer at Makerfest a few years ago. The pancakes were
pretty good tasting too.


Why would you print, rather than extrude?
