The present invention is directed towards a method for fabricating a three-dimensional metal, ceramic, and/or cermet part, the method comprising forming the three-dimensional metal, ceramic, and/or cermet part by an additive manufacturing technique; encapsulating the three-dimensional metal, ceramic, and/or cermet part in a conformable fugitive material to form an encapsulated three-dimensional metal, ceramic, and/or cermet part; and cold isostatic pressing the encapsulated three-dimensional metal, ceramic, and/or cermet part with pressurized incompressible fluid that contacts the conformable fugitive material. Also disclosed are three-dimensional metal, ceramic, and/or cermet parts fabricated according to said method.
