Metal Material Based 3D Printing
Metal 3D printing processes be used to manufacture complex, bespoke parts with geometries that traditional manufacturing methods are unable to produce.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Metal 3D printing processes be used to manufacture complex, bespoke parts with geometries that traditional manufacturing methods are unable to produce.
Metal 3D printed parts can be topologically optimized to maximize their performance while minimizing their weight and the total number of components in an assembly.
Metal 3D printed parts have excellent physical properties and the available material range includes difficult to process otherwise materials, such as metal superalloys.
The material and manufacturing costs connected with metal 3D printing is high, so these technologies are not suitable for parts that can be easily manufactured with traditional methods.
