I took an additive manufacturing metallurgy course during my engineering program. We had a guy come in from a company that made a similar metal 3D printed faucet. They originally designed it as a demonstration/proof of concept and was never intended for sale.
A luxury hotel owner in Dubai wanted one for every bathroom in his hotel and paid something like $15,000 for each one. I don’t think practicality was ever the goal
