Or I misunderstood your question.
You can print aluminum, titanium, stainless and most every precious metal. The stainless can be annealed to be malleable. Precious metals are just naturally soft.
Shear strength is about 85%, tensile is about 90% and compressive is about 95% of the "natural" material
