abstract = {{In this study, Metal Additive Manufacturing (MAM) was evaluated as a viable method for producing seamless 6 GHz pure copper and niobium prototypes without the use of internal supports. Preliminary tests were performed to evaluate printability, leading to further investigations into surface treatments to reduce surface roughness from 35 µm to less than 1 µm. Additional prototypes were printed using different powders and machines, exploring various printing parameters and innovative contactless supporting structures to improve the quality of downward-facing surfaces with small inclination angles. These structures enabled the fabrication of seamless SRF cavities with a relative density greater than 99.8%. Quality testing was conducted using techniques such as tomography, leak testing, resonant frequency assessment, and internal inspection. The results of this study are presented herein.}},
