It's made of titanium (though almost certainly some alloy) so they probably used a DMLS (direct metal laser sintering), SLM (selective laser melting) or DMLM (direct metal laser melting) process. All will result in fairly strong material structure. Probably not as strong as tempering/quenching would make it though. Either way, this is not something you can do with a hobby 3D printer :-)
