Based on what I know from How It's Made, you print a matrix of stainless steel with a binder, then you fire it in a furnace where you let it absorb a filler metal. I've seen it done with a stainless matrix and bronze. Not sure how you do it with stainless matrix and stainless filler without melting the matrix.
