If the binder that gives you something printable at low temperature doesn't integrate into the final result through chemical reaction, you are almost assuredly going to get a high porosity mess where the binder had to vaporize out.

If instead the binder and precursor can melt, react, and expand into a solid that precipitates out because of a super high melting point, the expansion will ensure that you get a fully dense part that can be machined back down.
