3D Metal Printing Metals

Please Wait...

Material 3D 3DMT specializes in metal additive manufacturing and the key component of the technology is material. With a long history of powder metallurgy in ARC Group, this experience transfers to 3DMT with metallurgists on staff, on-site material testing capabilities and heat treatment knowledge.

3D Metal Printing Metals: Aluminum – Alsi10Mg, Alsi12Mg, Titanium – Ti64 (Grade 5) Stainless Steel – 17-4PH, 15-5PH, GP1, PH1 Maraging Steel – M-300, MS1 Inconel – 625, 718 Cobalt Chrome. Plastic ABS – M30, ABSi (translucent) Nylon Polycarbonate

3D metal printing is an advanced, next-generation additive manufacturing process for making complex parts with features that cannot be produced by any other method. Parts are created on a special machine layer-by-layer, and this unique process lets you – the product designer – internal features like conformal cooling channels and lattice structures to reduce weight while preserving strength. Because the process is completely computer controlled, you are also able to modify features quickly and easily without additional expense, allowing you to test different versions of a prototype fast. Prototypes can be made in stainless steel, aluminum and titanium

When combined with our CNC machining and finishing services, we have everything you need to create sophisticated prototypes for applications in medical, automotive, aerospace and other demanding industries.

 3D metal printed prototypes
SLA & SLS Rapid Prototypes
SLA & SLS are two of the original 3D printing processes. These methods are ideal for making rapid, one-off prototypes in plastic. These prototypes can be used as-is, or to function as master patterns for polyurethane vacuum casting. Like with other 3D additive manufacturing processes, you can add complex internal features that can’t be made conventionally.

 Polyurethane Vacuum Castings
Polyurethane vacuum casting  is a rapid prototyping technique suited for making up to 30 copies of a master pattern from a silicone rubber mold. The level of detail and surface finish of the copies is dependent on the quality of the master pattern. You choose the casting compound to match your design idea – hard or soft, colored or clear. We even offer overmolding to combine two or more different types of material in a single finished casting.

 The next two photos are considered reversed polarized (RP-SMA).

 We have a team of specialists who are experts at preparing master samples for casting. Samples can be provided by you or we can make them using CNC machining or one of our 3D printing services such as DMLM, SLA or SLS.

Rapid Prototyping, 3D printing , FDM

Rapid Prototyping is the process to build the physical parts directly from the data the Computer Aided Design (CAD). This process is based on additive manufacturing technique, is a 3d object is created by bonding thin slices of material layer by layer. 3D printing is a generic term used primarily for additive manufacturing, where the object is constructed layer by layer. There are a number of technologies 3DP, borrowed from the large RP systems, the main difference is the choice of material, build speed and accuracy of parts. NC stands for Computer Numerical Control, refers to a computer "controller", that drives the machine. CNC machining is one of our most used services, suitable for functional, smooth and precise machined part directly from the engineering plastics or metals. Please check our CNC reserved for extensive information. FDM is also known as the Fused deposition modeling is layered additive manufacturing system. FDM offers functional and durable prototypes in...

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of software to control machine toolsand related ones in the manufacturing of workpieces.[1][2][3][4][5] This is not the only definition for CAM, but it is the most common;[1] CAM may also refer to the use of a computer to assist in all operations of a manufacturing plant, including planning, management, transportation and storage.[6][7] Its primary purpose is to create a faster production process and components and tooling with more precise dimensions and material consistency, which in some cases, uses only the required amount of raw material (thus minimizing waste), while simultaneously reducing energy consumption.[citation needed] CAM is now a system used in schools and lower educational purposes CAM is a subsequent computer-aided process after computer-aided design(CAD) and sometimes computer-aided engineering (CAE), as the model generated in CAD and verified in CAE can be input into CAM software, which then controls the machine tool...
